A place in Scotland

[chrisaaaaa]

I have a place name that appears 3 times on a Scottish birth cert, I cannot make it out.

I have ancestry transcriptions which give Canonbie for one and Teviothead for two, cannot see it...

The birth was [Francis] Pringle in 1855 to William Pringle (1824-1890) and Elizabeth Dickson/Dixson (1829-1885)

Is it "Kenmore"?

Agreed looks like Kenmore

Yes that is the right birth record, I got the cert because 1855 was a special year, they recorded lots of extra information in that year.

I thought Kenmore too, but it really does not fit in with anything else, unless there is/was a Kenmore down in Roxbourghshire.

[bibliotaphist]

I think there is an area of Jedburgh called Kenmore...

These are the assoc transcriptions, the marriage info I have is just from an 'public tree'...

Ta - I see Kenmore Bank now, not far off.

But I have to wonder, wouldn't a registrar in Northern Scotland would put in more address if it was a tiny place in Southern Scotland?

There's a Kenmore in Perthshire also and the Highlands at that time were full of Border shepherds.
