The attached item was published in the Hawick News 1 Aug 1919. Any family connections out there?

 this is kind of distant from what you are asking. But .... I have Douglas at Yetholm ... in possibly the early 1800's they went to Sutherlandshire then some to Canada in the 1830's.
William Stephenson - born 1814 at Doncaster West Yorkshire - married Mary Scott at Cottingham East Yorkshire (Hull) in 1838. Williams parents I believe were another Wm Stephenson and an Alice Carter - married Cantley Parish W Yorks (Doncaster) in 1811..... Other east riding names are Nicholls (Bridlington, Yorks and Wigan Lancs.) and the surname Withernwick.

I`m not a Douglas, but I noticed that you have Tait in your names. My 5x gt grandmother was Anna/Anne Tait daughter of Christopher, christened at Fogo 1736.

Thanks both for msg, but no Douglas or Tait connections I’m aware of for Ken S or BillyF.
