Robert Hume and Agnes Nichol Help Please
« on: Monday 07 December 09 17:36 GMT (UK) »
I have Robert Hume bcirca 1828 and Agnes Nichol born circa 1832, usual residence Denholm, Parish of Cavers, married in Denholm 12.7.1867   I have got stuck with their parents.  George Hume ploughman, bc1805 and his wife Helen Archibald bc1805 both deceased on son's marriage in 1867.  George was a ploughman and I cannot find a marriage etc.
I have Robert Nichol harrier, bc 1810 and Agnes Turnbull bc1810.  Again I cannot find anything more about them.  Birth years are just guesses.
Robert Hume was 39when he married and Agnes Nichol was 34. 
I would be grateful for any help or information.
Thanks   Mirren

Robert Hume was a shoemaker in  Denholm and died 22-7-1909 aged 82yrs His wife Agnes Nichol died 3-6-1910 aged 81yrs.In Denholm Cemetery no 255 transcriptions by John Douglas.
There is an Agnes b1870 wife of John Smith MD the minister at Denholm for many years,
Janet Hume died 1964 aged 92 wife of Nicol Furness
A margaret Steele hume died 1991 aged 68yrs wife of Andrew Lawrie.
Thats the lot in Denholm.
Robert and Agnes having died in 1909/1910 i would get probably marr certs and certainly death certs from Scotlandspeople which will givew you the parents. and other possible clues.
hope this helps

Thanks for you help.  I have the marriage certificate.  I am having difficulty in finding out anything about the parents of Robert and Agnes.  I have tried Scotlands People but will give it another go.

Having died 1909-10 i suggest looking at the census records starting at 1901 then 1881 etc they obviously were still in Denholm. He is shown in the Trade directory for 1866 as a shoemaker in Denholm.
1881 shows them in Denholm with a daughter 11 agnes and Janet aged 9 both born Cavers. Robert is shown born Lillieleaf.roxburghshire
