Hi looks like you found one half of the duo as I said it was a long shot that they were in Essex as early as 1851 and Alexander got married and went OZ,thanks for looking.

Hi I have just joined and was looking for Polwarth and saw your message.  I think it maybe that both James and Alexander were the younger brothers of my great, great grandfather David.  He went to Woodford Green in Essex.  I would be interested to know a bit more about what happened to them if you have any information.

Hi Katlie
I think you are correct abut the relationship between the brothers.

WILLIAM POLWARTH/ELISABETH BAIRD had 4 children at Foulden between 1818 & 1824

WILLIAM POLWARTH/ELISABETH BAIRD had DAVID, JAMES, ALEXANDER & MARGARET at Whitsome and Hilton 1826 – 1833, plus GEORGE 1835 at Ladykirk.

In 1841 most of the family are at Dykethead, Whitsome and Hilton, plus Young Polwarth age 4.

Colin
Clarke, Trickett, Orton, Lawless, Norton, Detheridge, Kirby, Goodfellow, Wagstaff, Lowe, etc.
