Berwickshire / Parkwalls or Park Walls, Greenlaw
« on: Saturday 06 December 14 09:01 GMT (UK) »
One of my ancestors, Adam Hardie, was born in Greenlaw in Berwickshire. I have the opportunity to visit the area soon and I would like to be able to locate his birthplace.
His OPR birth record reads"Adam, son of Thos Hardie in Parkwalls and Christian Robertson, his wife, Dec 20th 1786."
I have not been able to find where Parkwalls is, although it is mentioned in histories of families such as Redpaths. I have looked on various old maps, and recently bought the 1898 map of Duns and Greenlaw, but could not find it there.
Can anyone let me know if Parkwalls still exists? And if so, where is it?
Many thanks for your help.
