Selkirkshire / Re: Tom KING Town Clerk
« on: Friday 15 May 20 19:51 BST (UK)  »
Hi this is their headstone in Shawfield cemetery .I transcribed the whole large cemetery but too large to photograph each stone. I can give you a map to find it if necessary.
43 Lying flat .In loving memory of a dear husband and father THOMAS KING who died 29th February 1968 aged 55yrs and his dear wife MARGARET FOTHERINGHAM who died 17th April 1975 aged 58yrs.

The headstone is lying flat because the lair is on the side of a banking.Hope this is what you are looking for.

Roxburghshire / Re: Looking for Descendants of Adam Scott and Janet Leithead

Forfarian. I am 81 and have been involved in genealogy for at least 30 yrs and have never seen a birth certificate showing the birth dates  and place of the parents. . Scottish birth certs often will show wheRe and  when the parents were married  ,the place where the baby was born but no birth details of the parents. Send me a copy of this birth certificate to show I am wrong. You need the birth certs of the parents and they will show their parents after 1855 but before then church records vary sometimes showing son of  Adam or Daughter  of whoever but never have I seen son of Adam born etc at etc giving the details you claim.
Sorry but unless I see the certificates you claim I won’t be looking to help you. Genealogy is having documentary proof not speculation .

ALLSAC YOU SAID HE WAS BORN 1825 now you mention a birth certificate dated 1855 I am only trying to help. when and where was he married to Janet Leithead. also when and where did Adam Scott marry Gilander? I have the SCOTT church records for Selkirk and Roxburghshire .After 1855 they had to register births and marriages and should be on S People. also what about the census from 1841.
LETS START WITH CONFIRMED DATES OF MARRIAGE AS ABOVE AND THEN I WILL SEE WHAT I CAN FIND.  DIFFERENT DATES OF BIRTH 30YRS APART IS A NON STARTER.
