Hello to All RootsChat Members,
also to Anna this is a follow-up to your Personal Message.
Our 'ELLIOT' connections are as follows (as far as we know):
JEAN ELLIOT - born 1768 Roxburghshire, Scotland. death: 3rd December 1807 (39yrs), Knowsouth, Rox. Sct.
buried: Bedrule Kirkyard, Bedrule Parish, Rox. Sct.
Married: JOHN VEITCH (Spittal Mill) - 26th December 1790, Bedrule Parish.
He was born: 17th June 1759, died: 24th July 1816 (57yrs), also buried in the Bedrule Kirkyard, Bedrule Parish, Rox. Sct.
Their Children were: Jean (1791), James (1792), William (1794), Betty (Elizabeth) (1795), John (1796), Robert (1798), George (1799), Margaret [1] (1801), Mable (1802), Margaret [2] (1804), Elliot (1806), [Female-infant death] (1807).
Jean VEITCH was the only one of their children to marry.
As for the Parents of Jean ELLIOT, I am working on the idea that possibly either WILLIAM ELLIOT (Bedrule) or ROBERT ELLIOT (Southdean) were the father.
The reason for this, is that I found 2 Christening listings on the IGI.
[1]. Jean ELLIOT, ch. 24th April 1768, Bedrule, Rox. Sct. (father - William ELLIOT).
[2]. Jean ELLIOT, ch. 16th Oct. 1768, Southdean, Rox. (father - Robert ELLIOT).
Until I can find out more I do not know if there is a connection to the Castleton area.
If anyone feels that they may have come across anything that may be relevant, I would very much like to hear from you.
Jeanette H.
