Hi Lyn 

On the other topic which you posted in Aberdeen board, you said mother's name was Jean DOUGLAS
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,339713.0.html

Here you say mother is Jean ADAMS?

SP has no marriage that I can see - of a HERMISTON groom to a J* forname bride  who is an ADAMS.
But there is:

MARRIAGE - 1893 HERMISTON ROBERT  and DOUGLAS JANE  in EARLSTON /BERWICK  - Ref 736/00 0004

Jean/Jane are quite interchangeable in the Scottish record/ families - ie:  Jean/Janet/Jane/Jennet

Cheers

This looks like the couple who married - Jane here was born in the same parish as that marriage took place in - and it was custom to marry in the parish of the bride. They didn't waste any time growing their family tree, did they 

1901: 4 Beaverbank Place - St Andrews, Edinburgh St James,  Midlothian
Parish 685/2, ED 63, HS 61
Head: Robert HERMISTON 34, Masons Labourer, b Kelso, Roxburghshire
Wife: Jane HERMISTON 33, Earlston, Berwickshire
Dau: Agness HERMISTON 8, Scholar, b Redpath, Berwickshire
Son: James HERMISTON 7, Scholar, b Selkirk, Selkirkshire
Son: Walter HERMISTON 5, Scholar, b Selkirk, Selkirkshire
Dau: Hellen HERMISTON  3, b Selkirk, Selkirkshire

Hi Lyn

No problems - we all do it (I did it yesterday in fact, sent someone looking for a Charles when it should be a WIlliam  )  - just glad I happened to spot your  other topic with DOUGLAS in it!

You should be able to glean quite a bit on the HERMISTON and DOUGLAS families from the IGI, the siblings of Robert and Jane etc.

If you want any other Census looked up, as always, just holler!

Cheers
