Hi John

Welcome to RootsChat.

I have managed to fill in a lot of gaps over the 10 years since I posted this message, but there is still a lot I would like to find out.

I'll send you a PM with my email address.

You're not wrong there!!

It just means you have to do a lot more digging and be twice as creative with your thinking, and even then you may never get the vital piece of information to make the connection - and that's why we get hooked on Family History.  ;D

Hi Di
I think you are right about it not being occupation.
When I have another look on this particular page, the first word after the father's name is to do with their residential status eg “Tenant” or “Residenter”, and I now think this one could say “Vagrant”......

Hi Trish
The James I am looking for left the UK in 1838.

Thanks
Dot

Thanks gaffy. 

The Borders seem to be HQ for the PRINGLE name which I am doing for a cousin.
Still not sure I have the right one as the James I am looking for has variously stated that he was born in Kelso and Jedburgh, so will keep looking to see if there is a closer Parish registration.

Hi Wiggy

I am interested in the PRINGLE Birth at the bottom of the page.

Any help reading the 2 words after "...son of John Pringle," would be appreciated.
As they are separated by commas, I am guessing that they are occupation and place of residence.

Thanks

Hi Flora1966, trev_bungay & sed

Hope you are still watching this thread....
I have recently started helping a friend with his family tree.
One of the lines he is interested in is RAMUS from Bungay.
I would be very interested in getting more information on this family to help him out.

Please PM me your email addr and I will put you all in touch.

Hi Chloe & Barbara

I have recently started helping a friend with his family tree.
His aunty married a BESTON, and I have found the husband in the 1911 census aged 4 months with FOUR generations of the same family.

The head of the household is Edward aged 41 & his wife Elizabeth aged 39 with 12 of their 14 children + daughter in law + grandson.

The eldest male listed is one Thomas BESTON, widower, Labourer, aged 69, b. Clonmel, Ireland (sounds like your man).

The 4 month old boy who married my friend's aunty went on to have possibly 4 boys that I have found. 
Are you able to help with living relatives?  If so PM me and I wiil put you in touch.
