My Dad has a DNA match to a lady who has this above Phoebe Whitehead as daughter of Phoebe Whitehead born October 1765 at Diss. this tree has the older Phoebe dying at Stowmarket in 1844.
I have not seen the 1805/1806 birth, but the older Phoebe is Part of our Lot.
There was another Phoebe born 1804 at Ipswich to John Whitehead and Frances Crisp.
Cheers Colin

Hi
is there any connection to James Grieve and Janet Wight ?
He died at Sinton Gardens in 10 July 1871 and she died there 2 February 1863, she was from Bowden.
He was born at Thirlstone, Ettrick 22 Nov 1783 to Walter Grieve and Agnes Kerr they were married at Ettrick in 10 January 1783
they had, confirmed by death records
Isabel about 1809, Bowden she died 1894 at Broomhill, Selkirk, Selkirkshire, Scotland, she was married to George Hogg
William about 1827 at Ashkirk, died 30 July 1902 Synton Mill Farm, a descendant of his is a DNA match to me which has me trying to tie up thier Grieves to mine.
They had at Ashkirk Andrew 1820 and John 1824 the only two children i could find for them.
one of Isabel's children was with William on a census which led me to her.
So above Margaret Grieve could well be a child of theirs, as there is a big gap in baptismal records for the family
Jessie 1818 and Thomas 1830 and Walter 1840 show on census records with them

Can anybody tell me if the version of 1983 has additional information of the Halyburtons from Egliscarnie, Bolton, near Haddington, than in the 1973 edition.
Also does anybody know where this ended up?

the large carton on a dust covered shelf in a basement. In it were hundreds of parchment documents dating from 1567 to the late 1800s. Mrs. King said she got "goose pimples all over" as she read decree after decree: "By the grace of God and Charles II," "By the grace of God and George III," and others. Each was signed and sealed in wax with the Great Seal of Scotland. In one envelope folded like a road map was a 10 foot long legal document dated 15 July, 1544,, in Edinburgh, Scotland, describing the castles, lands and holdings of the Haliburton and Maitland families. The carton contained an amazing genealogy and complete family record, including scores of letters, covering a 300 year span of the two families.
