I have been searching for many years for the Baptism and parentage of MARGARET KEEN born About 1788 at Beal, opposite Holy Island and near Ancroft and Berwick.She married Cuthbert Elliott (date and place unknown) and they lived initially in the parish of Lucker and later Cheswick in the parish of Ancroft where she is buried in 1864. There is someone of the right name and year of birth baptised further south at Lesbury but that is not mine.
Can anyone help? There were several people at Beal called Keen, descendants of Joseph Keen and Eleanor Duncan but no one who had a daughter baptised Margaret then. She consistently names Beal as her birthplace on the census.
