Joseph Craig

Looking for any children of Joseph Craig and Agnes Forsyth (1766 &1771).
I know of a son Robert 1802 Morebattle.

Also the date of death for either Joseph or Agnes have looked on Scotland's people site with no success.

I think they were both living in Roxburghshire at the time of their death

Thanks in anticipation

One more child showing for them on the OPRs:

ELIZABETH CRAIG  Christening on 11 JAN 1795 at Gateshaw Associate Session, Morebattle, Roxburgh

Looking at the 1841 census, possibility Agnes may have died and Joseph remarried. Hard to say unfortunately as the 1841 census is the only one that doesn't show relationships within the household. Robert son is also in the household, married (?) to a Margaret. Have a look at the entry on FreeCen/1841. Joseph Snr. is showing in Jedburg, age 75 (with the normal rounding down to nearest 5yrs for this census).

www.freecen.org.uk

Can't see Joseph Snr. by 1851 so likely to have died before this census.

Official registration of BMDs did not start in Scotland until 1855. You will not find deaths being registered before this date on Scotlands people unfortunately.
