1901 Census - Shiel family, Hawick

[DianeM]

Thank you very much for sending the photo.  I don't have anyone that I know of from Hassendean.  But it's quite possible that they may be first or second cousins.  It's a link to another Shiel family for sure.

Thanks again
Diane

Dianne. I have Shiels marrying a Borthwick in Yarrow 1790 and the rest James and Johns maried into Wiliamson then Dalgleishs in and around Melrose  and then a Smith in 1850 if you ever need to link up somewhere along the line.

Thanks very much for the photo.  What a lot of info is on that headstone.  I have an Isabella Shiel who died in 1888, but with a different husband.  I couldn't read the date on the stone.

It's given me another lead to follow, and I thank you very much for that.

Do either of you have excess to any cemeteries in
Hawick? I am looking for William Kerr and Mary Stracher? There daughter Mary Ann Kerr married
William Tweedie in 1880. I can't find when they died or
where they are buried.
I also have a Agnes Shiel married James Welsh abt.1846 lived in Gattonside had four children James,John,Elisabeth and William.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Gala Girl

I've not got round to Hawick, except passing through

I may be there soon though, got this one though at Minto

I have it because my ancestors were Joiners and Smiths and sometimes there is a link

I think Melrose and Gattonside are only a stones
through away from each other. Our Shiel families may
be connected somehow. 
Thanks
