Emond in Selkirk

[Gadget]

Her baptism might not be there. It could have gone unrecorded for various reason - missing pages, clerical oversight, etc. I have about 4 or 5 baptsms missing in my line. They were born because they married, appear in censuses and died but they are not recorded as being baptised.

 There was also a period in the late 18th century when a tax was levied on parish registry entries. Some people refused to pay this and, although the child was baptised, the event wasn't recorded.

To put you out of your misery in the Auld Kirkyard Selkirk the headstone reads "In memory of Patrick EMOND late weaver in Selkirk who died 7th August 1809 aged 70yrs Agnes HEATLIE his spouse who died 3rd May 1777 and two of their children James Chisholm late Dean of Guild  died 8th April 1864 aged 64yrs.
I have a photograph.The Guild would be the weavers guild
 The details and photographs of the Auld Kiryard are available from www.bordersfhs.org.uk  on CD likewise the two other cemeteries in Selkirk Brierylaw and Shawfield.There are quite a few Emonds listed as I transcribed them all.

Hi Alan

I notice that James and Elizabeth's first daughter was an Agnes(e). ( Agnes, James, Peter, John, Jean, William)   This points to a possible marriage in Selkirk: 
17 August 1769:

Patrick Emond and Agnes Hatlie
