Berwickshire / Help to be able to continue tracing grandparents
« on: Monday 27 September 21 18:15 BST (UK) »
Evening everyone,
I’d appreciate any help as I’m really stuck and my mind has gone blank.
I’ve signed back up to pick up where I left off on my family tree.
Richard Pringle, b. 1777 Coldstream
d. 1864, is my 3 x Great Grandfather.
(He married Isabella Hay in 1822 in Ayton).
His parents are a James Pringle, (I don’t have a birth or death date or any locations for him), and Agnes Elmer/Elmour, b. 1744 Duns, Berwickshire.
On their marriage certificate in Coldingham in 1773 people are translating Agnes’ surname as Aleman but I believe it’s Elmer as I found a Richard Elmer and Agnes Dickson in Duns who had a daughter Agnes in 1744.
On Ancestry everyone is believing what other trees say and have a James born in 1756 in Earlston as Richards father, but I don’t think it’s that James as the parents married in 1764 and the mother listed was apparently born in 1741 😐
Any help or guidance would be appreciated as I am really stuck and I’d like to be able to trace my grandparent line.
Thank you in advance.
Julie.
