Borthwick Parish Burial records

[lizbin]

Is there a list of burials for Borthwick Parish. I am looking for Isabella Muirhead nee Smith who would have died between 1839 and the Census of 1841. They lived at Clayhouses 1. Her original Parish before her marriage to Robert Muirhead was Temple Parish. Thank you for any help.

Hiya Lizbin and a warm welcome to Rootschat
do you know a Timothy Morehead ?
he has this family tree
Robert married again soon after Isabellas death and had 3 more children to his 2nd wife
Isabellas last child was born 27th May 1839

Scottish records are almost all on ScotlandsPeople and not elsewhere. A quick search reveals some Muirheads, but not Isabella.

Thank you for replies. I use Scotland's People regularly and Ancestry as well. I have everything else about Isabella other than her actual date of death so was hoping there was a burial list for Borthwick Parish somewhere as she may not have had a proper headstone. I also have most information for Robert's second marriage to Danney Riddle and all the children -other than some other dates of death pre-1855 if still in Scotland. Our family link is to the Australian line. PS I am learning how to use this forum as it is very new to me,

There is a burial record on ScotlandsPeople for a female Muirhead (Christian name not recorded) in Borthwick on 12th August 1840.  The 'parent or other details' column is Robert Muirhead.

Thank you very much as that looks very promising and I seem to have missed it on Scotland's People, maybe because there was no first name. Anyway, that is a great lead,

And thank you for the warm welcome at the beginning Garstonite. I am not aware of a Timothy Morrhead at this stage. And as you will have gathered I am still learning how to reply properly on this site. :-)

I cannot thank you enough bevj. I am feeling emotional as I have just purchased the record for the unnamed Muirhead,,,,which reads "Wife of Robert Muirhead". It has to be Isabella. Thank you so very much, I am so grateful for the lead which I had missed myself. I can certainly see the value of belonging to a forum like this.

That's brilliant!
Glad to have been of assistance.
