Birth look up please... David Polworth

[angelicauk]

Hi

I am looking for any info on David Polworth  who was born abt 1828 in Berwickshire, Scotland.  He was married to Jannet (not sure of maiden name) and they had one son born in Scotland in 1856 - James.

I have also found 3 children on the 1881 census who were all born in Woodford, Essex.  The children were Alice b 1856, George b 1865 and James 1867.

Any help would be appreciated please!
Many thanks
Victoria

I have quite a few pictures of the churches for Foulden, Whitsome and Ladykirk, (both interior and exterior pictures).
 If you want any copies just send me a pm.

Foulden church is about 200 years old so would have been pretty new at the dates mentioned in the post above. The parish was very small and the population less than 400 up until the 1850's.

If any of the baptisms took place at the church i wonder if the old font was possibly used?

Hi Glen

Donna from Australia here.  My Polwarth ancestors came for the areas you mentioned - Foulden, Whitsome and Ladykirk.

Could I kind ask if you would be able to share the photos you have with me.  It would be much appreciated.

Thank you for reading this and look forward to hearing from you.  Donna

Welcome Donna,
Lovely that you have joined, sadly there has been no reply from Victoria, who posted this query. She hasn't been on this site since she posted the message.
I hope she is well.
Maybe Glen will be willing to help.
regards,
Jo
