Hi Douglas.
I am researching the Wilson family from Coldinham. I have an Agnes Wilson b 1780, Coldingham, married Henry Steele b 10.03.1776, Coldingham. Marriage date 27.11.1807. I think this is the same family. I don`t have parents or siblings for Agnes. The next Wilson i have is Josephb 1799 Coldingham. I am assuming that Joseph is related to Agnes in some way as there were not many Wilsons in that area.
Regards, Nicola

Do not know if this helps...Mary Steele, b. abt. 1791 married John Clezy. Both in Berwickshire...they moved to Australia. According to family in Australia, especially Dr. Peter Clezy...John ran afoul of Church authorities and moved the family to Australia...at one time the spelling of his last name was Clazy but after the move, he changed it back to the old, original spelling. I heard from Dr. Clezy many years ago and he was quite elderly then...have not heard since...

Hi people, this line is part of the line that I am writing a book about. James STEELE who is said to have married Mary Ann FALCONER, we can prove married Margaret PAE, it is in an old bible that we have. But I am looking for STEELE, CLEZY, DISHER, MOFFAT and GORDON from this general area. The people I am looking for either moved to the Isle of Man or emigated to Australia. I own both the book on the MOFFAT family and the one on the CLEZY family.

Hi Douglas. My gggGrandfather, William Dippie (Foulden/ Chirnside/Hutton), was married to Margaret Steel, born @1763 Who seems to be the daughter of Patrick Steal, (b 1732) married to Elspeth Archibald (1737) . I do not have much info other than that, But would be pleased to share if it is of interest. Lochfoot

Hi, I am interested in the Steele/Steel family as I am from the Catherine Gullan line. I am also looking for information on Cleghorns from the Berwickshire area. I noticed someone on here said something about owning a book on the Clazy/Clazie/Clazey family, I would be interested in seeing that if possible.
Perhaps someone could leave contact details so as I could get in touch.
Many thanks for your time.

This is probably irrelevant, but I have Steel as a middle name amongst my Monro ancestors, who hail from the Duns/Edrom/Hutton area. There are at least three who bear the name; Agnes Steel Monro (born 1849), her brother Peter Steel Monro (born 1853) and his son, also Peter Steel Monro (born in 1884).
I'm guessing that, somewhere back in the depths of the 18th Century, a Steel/Steele, perhaps one of yours, married into the Monro or Darling family (also from the area), thus passing the name on to occationally pop up in later generations :)

Regarding the line of Thomas Steel and Janet Denholm
Thomas according to the 1851 and 1861 censuses was born abt 1793/1794 in England. As his father was William (mother unknown) the most likely birth for him would be the Thomas Steel born 3 Sep 1792 in Norham, Northumberland, England.
There is nothing to link him to the Thomas Steel born in 1786 in Coldingham

Hello,
One of your posts mentioned the Clezy family. I am definitely interested in this. I have some Steeles in my tree... and confusion with a James Steele who married Margaret Pae but also married Elizabeth Clezie. Perhaps we can help each other sort that out?
