Berwickshire / Re: Ladykirk Farm 1851

I have found a daughter born 1897 called Ellie, living with Ann and David and Jane.  I have not found out yet if she is the daughter of David or Jane.  On the census for 1901 it shows the name Ellis but it says she is the niece of Ann.  I think this is right but have not found out anything else about her, or if David Fish was married.

Sorry made a small mistake on my first message.  Anne Fish's sister was born in 1870 not 1830.  beagriff

If you are still looking, I think you may have the wrong Anne Fish.  There is an Anne Patterson Fish married to a John Smith but it is a completely different family.  I hope you haven't spent a great deal of time chasing the wrong family.  I have all the details on the John Smith and Anne Fish family who were in Ancroft, Norham etc. one of the first children to be born in Ancroft rather than Scotland.  There was another John born to the same family in 1844 who died age 7 in 1851.  It was not uncommon for another son to be called the same name as the deceased one. He was the son of George Smith 1840-1869 and Grace Anne White Young 1811-1880.  Anne Fish had a sister Jane born 1830 and a brother David born 1874 and a niece, Ellie Fish Born 1897.  Christian Smith, John's sister, married James Nicholson my g.g.uncle who was a farmer in Murton.  They were only married a few years when he died and her brother John moved into the farm to help out from what I can understand before marrying Anne Fish.  Does this help? beagriff

I have a great deal of informatiuon on the Nicholson family from Norham as James Nicholson was my g.g.grandfather's brother.

I have a copy of the marriage certificate of Christian Smith and James Nicholson.  They were only married for about 3 years before he died quite young.

I am curious to know what happened to Murton Farm where he lived.  According the the census Christian stayed on at this farm with her brother John Smith.  Anybody know anything about this farm?  Did it by any chance go back to one of the Nicholson's?
