[shirlbur]

If someone is buried in the Churchyard of Hawick, which cemetery would they be buried in?

Is there only one church in Hawick?

Shirlbur,
        What time frame and name are you looking for ? 

[shirlbur]

I'm looking for PARK from 1800 to the early 1900s; RUTHERFORD from the late 1800s and KING from the late 1700s to early 1800s.

Hi shirlbur,
           it helps if you are able to put given names with the surname and possible spouses and aprox dates......it just makes it easier for folks to assist you....

[shirlbur]

Okay, well here's a start.  Some of them I don't have death dates but am searching!
James KING married 1794 in Hawick.  Don't know death date.
William PARK d.17/9/1855 Hawick
Agnes PARK d.before 1855
William PARK d.1842
Elizabeth PARK d. before 1907
Agnus RUTHERFORD d.11/2/1907
Gilbert RUTHERFORD d.24/3/1899
Agnes RICHARDSON d.11/3/1855

I have heaps and heaps of PARKs from Hawick, but don't know when they died and am still looking for lots of marriages.  I'll send a separate message with a list of names and if anybody is able to help that would be wonderful.

Shirlbur,
            I noticed first off that there are 2 deaths  1855 (magic year) (1st year of civil reg)
If you have not already gotten their death certs...it would be well worth your while to do so,...as there is often more info on them that year then later years.
Scotlands People is where a lot of us go  (pay...but reasonable) and get these on line.
