I have requested this 4 reel microfilm from the LDS. I have hit a brick wall of years standing and I am determined to get past it. I am willing to look up for folks... but, I will need specific information and please...if the information is not that important to a tree or can be verified elsewhere..be kind.

Hi Sharon,
l would like to take up your kind offer for Berwick on Tweed, and l hope you can help with my brickwall.
What l have is from the 1841 Census and what l have manage to find out:-
John Young 40 Tanner not born this county
Margaret 40 wife not born this county. 1851 census says Scotland.
Robert 20 son, Jane 15 daughter, James 14 all born Berwick on Tweed. Eleanor, 11, George 9, Margaret 5, John 2 all born Yorkshire.
l think Margaret's maiden name could be Renwick as Robert was christened Robert Renwick Young. The closest l could come to was a John Young married Margaret Renwick 13 Aug 1820 West Linton, Peebles, Scotland. Just maybe the Parish Registers will either confirm or give me more to go on. If you could find anything before 1841 l would be very grateful.
kindest regards

I am waiting for the films to arrive. I did not want you to think I had forgotten...and I can do plenty of look ups. I was hoping that they would arrive before I had to go to work!! School opens up here in another week and I am teaching 11th and 12th grade English... I also requested two other films...Etal Presbyterian baptisms 1751-1828 if you want me to look there...the other is for Mordington, Berwickshire, Scotland.

Hello Sharon,
When you are ready, we would like to take up your kind offer of searching through Berwick Parish Records. We know Elizabeth Hogg married James Holme at Holy Trinity, Berwick on 18/12/1808. What we would like to know is any information on Elizabeth Hogg - i.e. her birth - probably about 1786, her parents, siblings etc. anything you can dig up. It would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Without burdening you with further requests, you have already got a lot of them in addition to your own research, could I ask you to look out for any MACE names that crop up while you are going through the OPRs.
Any little snippets would be greatly appreciated, and again thanks for the offer.

Further to my request, above, I am specifically looking for the children of John MACE (b. abt 1821) and Isabella SWINHOE. One son, George Charles MACE was born Sept. 1861.
They had apparently 5 sons, two more I know about are William and Benjamin. Don't know if there were any daughters.
Thanking you in advance again

Dear Elizabeth, My Dicksons ,William Dickson and Jean Dickson , cousins perhaps marrying each other about 1731,came from Greenlaw. They produced three daughters, Margaret, Martha both chr 26 Jun 1832 Greenlaw then Isabel chr 30 Nov 1733 Greenlaw,Berwickshire, Sct.
Margaret married John Tait 28 Nov 1761 Eccles.BER,SCT
Margaret Dickson and John Tait produced four known children-
Jane Tait chr 21 Dec 1762 Eccles
Robert Tait Chr 26 Dec 1765 Greenlaw md Janet Graham(b abt 1776)md abt 1778
Alison Tait Chr 9 May 1767 Greenlaw
Margaret Tait Chr 1 Sep 1771 Greenlaw.
Robert Tait and Janet Graham had four known sons-two of whom became mariners and migrated between 1830 and 1840 to Tasmania, Australia where, James Tait became a well-known identity in the seafaring circles and Robert Tait, my third gr grandfather, married first to Ruth Ramsay born 1801 and then to Katherine Clarke (before Ruth died as Mrs Ruth Neilson/Nelson of Bowel Cancer in 1851) and then in his sixties after the death of Katherine and their daughter, Catherine he married Rachel Elliott 12 Mar 1864 at Morven, Tasmania, Australia(no chn to this marriage)
James Tait , Robert's brother (others were William and Andrew) married Catherin Pullinger 21 Sep 1836 Scots Church,Launceston, Tasmania)
Robert Tait and Ruth Ramsay(first wife) had four known children
Robert Tait Chr 10 Apr 1821 Sth Leith Believed to have been christened also 1 Feb 1824 Holy Trinity Parish Records, Berwick Upon Tweed son of Robert and Ruth Tait, Father, Mariner
Elizabeth Tait chr 11 Jun 1823 Sth Leith. MLN,SCT(It is believed that Elizabeth died young as no further mention is made of her in any records)
Jane Tait 20 Aug 1826 Tweedmouth, dau of Robert and Ruth, sailor
James Tait(my gr gr grandfather) Born abt 1827 Tweedmouth Died 1916 aged 89 Married 1st Grace Johnston 10 Nov 1850 ( Grace died 1856) Md 2nd Catherine Edminson/Adamson abt 1856
John Tait mentioned in the first para came from Eccles and was the son of Robert Tait and Alison Heague(parents Antonie Heague and Alyson Stewart)
I do not have a lot of support data past the late 1700s therefore all has to be treated with caution. The naming of the children has been a huge help plus James's Tait's family name of Graham was handed down within the family in Tasmania.. He and his brother, Robert both applied for a replacement of their sailing indentures and gave their details on the records of which I have a copy. Hope this is some help and if you have information that can help me then I would be most grateful. I do have Census data and death certificates plus marriages. Dell Downunder.

Hi Sharon
Taking up your very kind offer. Hope things are going well with your research. I too have hit a brick wall. My maternal gt gt granparents James Hastie b c 1811 and Rachel Clarke b c 1807 both in Tweedmouth Berwick on Tweed. I can't find a marriage or any info on their parents or siblings. They had children all born in Tweedmouth.
Many thanks and much appreciated

Dear Elizabethh, I also realised that the date of your gr gr gr grandfather's death occurred in the 1800s not the 1900s but it may confuse others. There is also a Berwick Upon Tweed Directory 1806 in existence and it mentions many of our names including the Grahams. Taits, Dicksons/Dixon/Dickenson. Just wanted to make you aware of it and it can be downloaded from the Northumbria site. Gavin Cairns prepared the small book for use on the internet as a tribute to his gr gr gr grandfather who was a baker in Berwick Upon Tweed. Look forward to hearing from you Dell Downunder

Gosh this is an old post so a very long shot but I hope worth a shot
Is it possible that you can check for a marriage between James Logan and ? Edmeston she is known as Jess on their daughters birth certificate in 1838 but could have been Jane, Jean, Janet or even Joan as these names seem to be interchangeable under Scottish ideals
I have my fingers and toes crossed The daughter Catherine Logan seems to have grown up with an unrelated family so it is possible that Jess died before 1841 We are waiting for a death certificate for a Jane Logan who died in 1840 in case it is her.
Trees really stuck with this direct line family ??? ???

Hello in Berwick , by any chance are you still doing look ups ?
Kind regards Jane , Australia

Hi, Robert Tait and Janet Graham had FIVE sons in all. One of them was my great, great, great grandfather Alexander Hay Tait (b. abt.1790 Berwick) who became a master blacksmith moving with his wife Elizabeth Forsyth (b. Roxburgh) from Berwick to Wick in Caithness. In 1841 His father Robert Tait, a widower, was living with Alexander and Elizabeth in Wick. Alexander and Elizabeth's daughter, Mary Tait, married John Macdonald, also a blacksmith. Their daughter Jane Paterson Macdonald married John Johnston, master plumber who were parents of my grandmother, Catherine Isabella Johnston and they lived in Kirkwall on Orkney. The gravestone of Alexander Hay Tait and Elizabeth Tait lies in Old Cemetery, Wick. So James, Robert, Andrew and William were my great, great, great uncles! Alexander Hay Tait was first son of Robert Tait and Janet Graham.

Sharon, if your still doing the lookups could you possibly look for the marriage of Thomas crumlish born Ireland and mabel Renwick, they had 3 daughters but I am beginning to think they never got married ,even though they are on census records as married,I think it should be in the 1860s to 70s ,thankyou
