hi does anyone have any info on a line of my ancestors please, first of all i my grandfathers mum was margaret stewart she died in edinburgh but born either jedburgh or kelso, her mother was margaret middlemist and her father was george stewart, george was born 1867 i think, george henry stewart, he had several siblings all born potentially in kelso, i know the family moved around alot but one generation at least seem to have all stayed in kelso for a while, georges father was alexander who served in india as a quartermaster where he met the mother of his children alicia wilshire, at least to my knowledge anyway, alexanders father was also alexander, there is a record for who i think is georges grandfather, it seems he died in kelso then the family came to edinburgh, this is a part of the record: Alexander Stewart-1. He was born Abt. 1825 in Durnist, Caithness, Scotland. He died on 04 Feb
1893 in 46 Horseshoemarket, Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland. i do have more info but nothing i can get anywhere with myself, so if it might be of use to anyone else or you can help me i would be grateful

Cheers Ryan

hiya,

my granny was a campbell as her father was john campbell from leith, edinburgh, the name clarke was her mothers name, my granny unfortunatley passed away in 2007, so i cant get any info from her, all i remember was i used to get a good scottish/english banter with her lol, her dads family are originally from edinburgh he has quite a big family up here, im not sure how he ended up with dorothy, my granny jean was born in 1947 i think, so an estimated guess would be late 1910s or 1920s i can say i dont think my granny was the oldest but if she was then it would be possbible though unlikely that dorothy was born 1930 very latest, i have my suspicions its late 1910s any help would be great though

cheers Ryan
