Have you entered and checked your surnames in the surname interests table?  The link is via "Your surname interests" at the foot of every page.

Hi Lisa
Where do your Walkers come into the picture?
My grandfather was a John Henry Walker, b. 1892  in Ednam and his brother Frank Walker, b. 1893, also in Ednam. There was an illegitimite sisterr, Agnes Middlemiss, b. 1885, in Yetholm. Agnes took the Walker name when her mother...also Agnes Middlemiss married David Walker.
My G-grandfather was David Walker, b. 1855 in Linton, and died in 1896, ( A traumatic death at age 41 on the dispensery table in Kelso ! ).
I have all the gossip on these guys !
Happy Hunting

Thank so much for your e-mail message. Rebecca Walker is my relative who is buried in Eckford Churchyard. I think they eother lived in Eckford or Caverton Mill, probably Eckford. See family tree above. I dont think there is a connection here but my Ednam relatives were Rev. Lamb and family in Ednam. George Lamb was my G grandfather.

regards
Lisa
