West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / militia list question
« on: Sunday 11 November 18 20:36 GMT (UK)  »
Could some kind soul let me know if any Bruntons appear on the militia lists on the first decade of the 1800s. I would assume Calder area.

Thanks in advance

Selkirkshire / John Anderson, Magistrate, Selkirk, early 1800s, illegitimate child
« on: Sunday 09 September 18 11:51 BST (UK)  »
Hi

John Anderson was Dean of Guilds in Selkirk in 1799 (later a magistrate). He fathered a child with Joan Brunton (12th May 1799 was the date Joan confessed the sin of fornication).

Has anyone come across this child, as I can find no mention of a baptism, or anything else regarding the child. I know Joan was living in Yarrowford by 1811 (when she married a William Tait). Apart from that, nothing.

Thanks
