Hello Cal,

Nice to hear from you
I have a John and James Shiel
I also have an Isabella Dagleash and Isabella Stevenson but sadly the other names and dates don't fit so I don't think we are on the same line.
I'll keep it all in mind and if I discover anything I'll let you know

Regards

Eric

Eric,
A bit long after your posting, but better late than never.
Can't help with parents of those shown, but can add that Andrew FAIRBAIRN, son of James FAIRBAIRN and Ann WALKER died in Greenock, Renfrew in 1890 (married Marion FOREST), and was living in Portobello 1851-1871.
His age at death was 73, which is a tad out for the 1813 Andrew I had noted for this couple, but may be one and the same person, or a 3rd Andrew.
Always interested in Melrose connected FAIRBAIRNs, and have recently realised that one of my FAIRBAIRNs married a Joan FORSYTH, so your message caught my eye - again (I've just realised I added some info on a different line above!)

From naming pattern of the children for James and Ann that I know about, I'd expect his parents to be an Andrew and Isabel, but don't have any likely candidates in view for you.

For further FAIRBAIRN details (and others) check out my web pages

Hello Eric and all out there researching Elliots, Eliots or Ellots,

Just information on a web site about the Elliots of the Border.
This is called the Ellot Clan (Ellot is an old spelling of Elliot) and lists loads of Elliots - if you can work them all out. They have not got all the Elliots listed but have loads and some of the information is not quite right but it is a starting point for research.

If that doesn't work then google 'Ellot Clan'

Getting back into my family history stuff again ... I will have a look and see what I have in the Shiel side ... most certainly I think we are linked some where with those names

Also do your Robson's happen to be from Southdean area

Hi Margaret,

Saw your query above, my OH has 3 g grandparents Robson who where in Southdean.

Alexander Robson m Margaret Weir. They were both born and married in Oxnam (not far from Crailing) but were in Southdean in the 1841 and 1851 census. Have a bit of info if these names fit into your tree.
