Hi, I am compiling a tree regarding the above couple, to see if I can locate any descendants. Reason for this is I am trying to see if these MIGHT be the correct parents of my Adam Scott who married Mary Gillanders. - I have his full family details. I have had a direct male line descendant do a YDNA test as well as a number of other cousins, Aunts etc take Autosomal tests. As this will be the only way to prove a possible line back in the Roxburghshire area.

This couple had the following children:
John Scott b c1811 d 1835
Gladstone Scott b c1813 m Isabella Wilson d 1890
Helen Scott b c1816 d 1830
Thomas Scott b 1818 m Janet/Jenny Davidson d
William Scott b 1820 d 1829
Charles Scott b 1823 m Isabella Hope  d 1896
Walter Scott b c1827 d
William Scott b c1829 m Jane Hope d 1865
James Scott b c1831 d
David Scott b Sept1834 d 1835
(I am still working on gathering details about the above children)
Areas of most interest are: Cavers, Priesthaugh hill, Hawick - Majority of the boys followed their Fathers line of work as being a Shepherd. My Adam Scott states on a 1855 birth of his son, he was born in Priesthaugh hill, and his occupation throughout his life was also a Shepherd.

My Adam Scott was born c1825 and would fit into this family re time frames as well as all the family names very nicely, but I need to be able to prove it.
So going to post this on this site as well as Roxburghshire and Dumfries to see if any descendants belong and are interested in making contact to see if we can solve this puzzle.
Looking forward to hearing from anyone relating to these families.
Kind regards

Hi hoping someone can assist.
I downloaded a birth of a child stating born in Cla?ne, Parish of Gairloch on the 19 June 1878 as John Scott, parents Adam Scott, Shepherd and Catherine Scott MS Maclean.
Father Adam Scott was the informant.
All births on this page were registered in Mellon Charles of which via maps I know where this is. Trouble is I cannot find the place which is most likely to be a Farmlet called Cla?ne (it is hard to read correctly the middle part and also the very end which could be an e or something else.
Other entries say Bualnaluik and Mellon Udnegle - all say parish of Gairloch, and all on the page registered by John Macdonald, Mellon Charles. The official registration from Scotlandspeople is 1878 - 066/1 14  Gairloch County of Ross. I am wanting to know what the correct spelling of this place would be if anyone can assist it would be most appreciated, as I would love to find the farm on a map if possible.
Father moved about during census and this is the only place of 1 child born that I cannot locate on a map or possible area. Any help or ideas welcomed.

Kind regards

Hi, I am looking at ordering in some of the films regarding Whitburn to try and locate a burial record of a couple of ancestors that died pre 1855. The films are giving me an indication that Burial money only goes up to 1830. Can anyone who has ordered in the following film No's from the LDS confirm this please. Film 1066639 & 40.  Also are there any more burial records on the later films done. I have found other records for the Roxburghshire on these later films and wondered if anyone had viewed them as well. No 102997-8.
I am looking for burials between 1851 - 1855 - Not on Scotlandspeople site.
These are also Not in the West Lothian MI pre 1855 Booklet Vol 2 done by Angus and Alison Mitchell. They were poor, and husbands were coal miners and one was already deceased.
Many thanks regarding help in this area. Ailsa

Hi, I am trying to locate where the Original Old Parish Registers for Cavers might now be housed. Reason being. I have ordered in both versions of the LDS films available, (later one being 1951 Filming which is not indexed on FamilySearch). This film did give me the marriage I was looking for, but it also has massive gaps of black film on it as well. I know the births/baptisms of the children I am looking for must have been viewed at one time, as they appear on the Old IGI on microfiche of which I have a copy. These entries are NOT submission entries. I have found a number of Scottish entries by using the later films done in 1951, which as I have been advised via LDS are Not Indexed so the entries do not show up on FamilySearch Nor on Scotlandspeople web site. 
If anyone can advise where the Parish Register might be housed as I suspect I would need a researcher to look through them for me, I would appreciate the information. Thanks in advance.
