There they are!!

I couldn't see them on ancestry in 1901 but they must be there if the didn't die until 1908.

I have a lot of relatives in peebles and live down the road, next ime i go i could have a look in the graveyard for you if you want.

Caroline, thanks for the information.   I take it that the last posting refers to the deaths of George Morison and his wife?  I was a bit unsure as to what the 5 credits and the reference numbers were about.

If you see any monument inscriptions or anything of interest in the graveyard I would be really delighted to hear from you.

many thanks,  marp

Hi,  I thought they might be from the  www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk  database.  Yes, I have registered with them and will go and have a  search.   I know who George Morison's parents are.  I am tying up the loose ends of the Morison family originally from Burntisland, Fife.
Thanks for all your help, marp

Thanks everyone for the George Morison information.   He is a gg-uncle and I am tying up the loose ends of the Morison family so this has been a great help.

Interested to see the double 'r' in their name by 1901, the branch of the Morison family who emigrated to Australia were insistent that the name had only one 'r'.   They did not seem to appreciate the vagaries of spelling in earlier eras!

thanks again,
 marp

It could just be a transcription error on ancestry, they seemed to have used the one 'r' on their death certificates (if that makes sense! )

I saw that George Morison was a registrar, the house my auntie lives in in Peebles is where all the records of the registrar were kept.  I'm not sure if this would have been at the time your George had the job as it is not in the High Street.

Just thought you might like to know this piece of Peebles trivia!

and i promise next time i am in peebles i wil have a look for their graves
