the militia lists are online

Anyone know if Constables (ie police) were exempt from these lists until 1811?

Border searcher. recently I found a book called Blanket Preaching which had an appendix of the original transcription of St Marys Cemetery st Marys Loch done in  the early 1900s  by the then Yarrow Minister .I have had it retyped as it has a mention of a James Murray .if you send me your email via private message I will send you a copy.
50.   Head-Stone , fallen inscription practically illegible……………Also JAMES MURRAY their son who died at (   )haugh 3rd January 1811 aged 73yrs.

It may not be the one you are looking for but it may help!!!

Border Searcher, Are you aware that in the Auld Selkirk Kirkyard there is the "Murray AILSE" within the old Kirk. its has 5 panels listing all the Murrays from Bowhill and Falahill from 250AD and worth a look. you can get the CD from Border Family History Society for £10 and well worth it. this entry described one of the member of the Murrays you might like.
\To the memory of JOHN MURRAY . He suffered great persecution for his opposition to episcopacy and for his strong attachments to the covenanting cause. He was a gentleman of singular piety , was chased from his house and heritage by the y-mel-----ums oppression and had all his goods driven to ye Mercat cross of Selkirk and there sold. (See -------wod--------XXXVI )
