Berwickshire / Shiels of Edrom/Chirnside

Hi all,
I've found a Shiels family in 1841 who I suspect might include my mysterious ancestor, Thomas Shiells. The surname is spelled Shields and the family consists of Alexander, 76, Ag Lab born in county; Janet, 30, Ag Lab born in county, and Thomas, 10, born in county. Janet could have been anything up to 34 as ages were rounded down in 1841 for adults. The address is Kelloe Bastile. I haven't been able to find anything else about them except that Janet seems to have still been in Edrom in 1851 (alone). If anyone has these people in their tree, or any suggestions as to how I could find out more, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks lots,
Eve
