You knowing doesn't help others willing to help without more info.

"I would assume Calder area"

Good luck with your research.

Annie

That is the incorrect area, that post was specifically asking if the names appeared on the militia lists in Calder.

The initial post here stated "I have someone whos children were born in the hamlet, but he does not appear on the militia lists,"

These are two different areas, so your assumption that the area was Calder is incorrect.

Again the area is NOT relevant to the question asked, which was

"If someone was a Constable - an exempt occupation, would they appear on the Militia Lists in the early 1800s. (He does appear on the 1811 one)."

I know the hamlet, that wasn't relevant to the question though, unless certain areas had different rules for the lists.

Hi

If someone was a Constable - an exempt occupation, would they appear on the Militia Lists in the early 1800s. (He dows appear on the 1811 one).

I have someone whos children were born in the hamlet, but he does not appear on the militia lists, even though he should have. (theres also the fact all the houses were occupied in the hamlet, so goodness knows where he lived)

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

Anyone know if Constables (ie police) were exempt from these lists until 1811?

You may also want to look at James Murray, a stocking maker in Selkirk, who married Betty Hislope  and had a child Isoble born 29 March 1791. The minister came from Midholme. There may be a link between the two (probably not, but it's an avenue to go down)

Have a read through Reminicences of Yarrow by James Russell , as  the Murrays are mentioned a few times  (its available free on https://archive.org/details/reminiscencesya01russgoog)

Hawick Hub has lots of Parish and other records that aren't online, with a wealth of information, if you have the time to trawl through them page by page to ensure you don't miss anything.

(a James Murray was also minister at Yarrow between 1680 and 1690)

There were a lot of Murrays in the Yarrow Valley at that time, but hes the only one who appears as James. It may, for all I know, be two different James's.

The actual Militia Lists are down at the Hawick Hub, I don't know if they are online.

You can search there records here

http://www.calmview.eu/Hubcat/CalmView/TreeBrowse.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&field=RefNo&key=CH2

They're quite useful as they list all men from 18 to 45 in the area (also lists stuff like if they were deaf etc).

The 1811 one had a section for under 30 or above 30 (slightly confusing if they were actually 30)
That section was sometimes not checked - as in James Murrays case.

The Howford Mill James Murray is who was referred to here

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
