Further to my previous post, I have learned from my sister that there were two Russell Cessords registered on the same day in 1925.

K - you have the right info but the wrong certificate.  John Cessford, my grandad. had several brothers, one of whom was William.  You are correct about the accident to his eye and everything else.

He did live in a gatehouse and I think it was a Broomhouse.  He was also he gardener at Craigroyston Estate.

They eventually moved to Bonnyrigg, where my Gran died.

Let me know what other info you need and I can ask my dad, Russell.

Hi

My father is Russell Alister Cessford.  He was born in 1925.  He was a drummer who frequently played all over the city.  His father however was John Cessford and he had a glass eye.  His grandfather was William Cessford and they were originally from Kelso.

Our roots are in the Village of Cessford, just outside Duns in Berwickshire.  Descendents of Ker of Cessford, ancestor of thre Duke of Roxburgh.

I am interested to know who is looking for him.
