Mary Geraldine Douglass
« on: Monday 19 March 12 15:26 GMT (UK) »
Hello All
I have hit a brick wall, Mary G Douglas born 1835 Kelso, was Living on her own in Kelso on the 1881 Census, her parents were Robert Douglass born 1811 and Esther Ormiston born 1809 they had died by 1881. afer 1881 Census the trail goes cold, did she marry, Die?.

Maybe someone can find her after 1881.

Many Thanks
Allan

Hi Allan

She died in Galashiels on  29 Dec 1927. Aged 93. Widow of John Inglis, Master Tailor.  Correct parents are showing. Send me  a PM with your e-mail and I'll forward the cert.

I think she's in Melrose in 1891:

Sprouston Cottages, Melrose

Mary G Inglis, 56, Dressmaker, b. Kelso

In 1901 She's at the same address and details but now down as a shopkeeper/Confectioner

No sign of her husband with her.

I'll check for a marriage  ::)

John, s, 8, b. Hawick

Melrose parish actually covers many villages around Melrose, not just Melrose alone - Sprouston Road/Cottages is in fact in the Village of Newtown (now called Newtown St Boswells) 3 miles SE of Melrose.

Thanks for your reply, i am looking for the Baptism of James Douglass, his birth varies from 1804-1809 due to various censuses. family say he was born in the Kelso area.

Thanks
Allan
