Kelso/Crailing/Wooden
« on: Tuesday 16 November 21 01:10 GMT (UK) »
Hello All
Once again I return to my genealogical quest ( after a long time-out).
William Black(2) was born 1784 in Wooden... His parents William Black(1) and Beithie Gray,  married in 1777 in Crailing...Father Wm Black (1) appears to have been born 1752 in Wooden .
Wm Black(2) married Elizabeth Wilson1820 in Kelso ( this according to a newspaper announcement).
Information about Wooden is scarce to negligible.
Can anyone help me put some flesh on my skeletons and find info( Then and now) about the area where they once lived.
Thanks in advance

Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Thanks Forforan
I  was grasping at straws ..hoping some new info might surface.
The trees shown on various sites are incorrect regarding William ( and others) as younger family members ( and in-laws)do not believe in proving !!  Easy found  must be right is their motto I think!!
Back to my history books....

Is this the right Wooden?

There are a few snippets for Wooden on Scotland’s Places.

Have you checked the monumental inscriptions for Eckford or Crailing?
