Thomas FALLA Parish Record Lookup - Berwick

[37christine]

Thanks Janis
I have looked for Sarah Falla (witness).   I wondered if this could have been his mother?   I would need to go back through my records.   I didn't find her.   The Sarah Falla born also to Andrew and Hannah died when she was young (if my memory serves me right).
There was a Sarah Falla later on the census but she wasn't born at the time of Selby's marriage.
No-one seems to be coming up on any records with siblings for Selby Falla, just children of Selby.
There are lots of Falla's over the border in Lillisleaf, Roxburgh too.
I will have to get my thinking cap on again and see if I can come up with any relevant family members.
Appreciate your help
Best wishes
Christine
