[Hi Dava57
I have looked all my MI`s  no trace of your family, the closest I have found is a birth in Innerwick of Martin Sibbet 3 mar 1752 son of William Sibbet merchant and distiller in Thorntonloch and his wife Elisabeth Scot, one of the witnesses was a Martin Sibbet from Dunbar.  Hope this helps,  lots of other Sibes in the MI`s if you want a list of names dates and place let me know
Lynn

Thanks for that Lynn,
Very possible the Sibes are related.  I've come across a ridiculous amount of spelling variation of this name which isn't making life easy for me tracing family.
A list of the Sibes would be appreciated.

[KAMA]

Thanks very much 

Some very interesting MI's, very very helpful, looking forward to the rest

Really appreciate your help,it's very kind of you to go to so much trouble.

[tom505]

Thanks for looking.  My reason for asking was that one of my forebears Jean/Jane Young was born in Spott 1805 to Alexander Young and Anne Downie. I haven't found the marriage of her parents, unless there was forename change - Alexander Young married Margaret Downie 1791, recorded in Spott OPR. There are a few candidates for the parents of this Alexander and a record on a MI might just have helped.
Thanks once again

Hi Spacot,

What a very generous offer. I don't want to ask too much, but I'm looking for Gillan/Gillon/Gillane in Oldhamstocks, Spott and Innerwick? I also have Wallaces in Innerwick/Spott.

Thank you,
hume24

In Dunbar Methodist Church there is grafitti on the walls of the pump room (it's actually a very small space rather than a room) there is the name of a Peter Gillan late 1800's. Presumably he was a boy to fit into such a small place. Anyway, if anyone has details of him I would be interested to hear.
