Hi Fiona,
There are some names here that look like possibles for my lot, but I don't have any info as yet to tie them in.
I have a Helen Burnside born about 1816 in Stenton Haddington, m Alexander Litster 24 May 1840 at Noth berwick & died sometime before 1898.
I have loads of rellies to this lot in the Haddington, Cranston, Garvald area, and the names George, Elizabeth, margaret, Andrew & Isabella crop up down the generations.
It could just be coincidence, but worth asking. The surnames that crop up via marriage ( Helen had 3 daughters, Margaret, Isabella & Ann) are Bridges, Thomson & Adams.
Any Matches?
Cheers

Hi GalaLass
unfortunately I can find no connection between our Burnsides.I have searched my Burnside info that has gathered over the years to see if there was any info that may be useful to you.so here goes
Helen Burnsides parents as
Alexander Burnside & Isabella Bell m 1815 Edinburgh
Alexander died 1859 Dirleton
Isabella died 1872 N Berwick
their children via SP
1.Helen b1816 Stenton died 1898 N Berwick
2.John b1817 "
3.Henry b1819 "
4.Peter b1820 "
children via freecen 1841
5.Thomas babt 1831
6.Isabella babt 1831
7.Jane babt 1836
child via freecen 1851
8.Margaret babt 1830
possible parents for Alexander Burnside b1794 Haddington
as Andrew Burnside & Margaret Johnston, althought not 100% this is correct as I have not viewed Alexanders death record for parents names.
Andrew & Margarets children
1.Alexander b1794
2.Elizabeth b1787
3.Isabel b1790
4.James b1803
5.Janet b1788
6.John b1801

Isabella Burnside nee Bells parents as John Bell & blank for mothers maiden name on Isabellas death record.possible parents as John Bell & Helen Bruce m 1775 Dunbar with Isobel b1791 Lauder,Berwick
hope this helps.

That's very generous of you Fiona, thank you.
There is certainly plenty there to check out & a lot of new children to track down.
Shame there's no cross over, but i guess the names were popular with a lot of families around that time.
I will pick these up probably next time I'm at the Records Office in Edinburgh and look for all the death & marriage certs first.
Much appreciated.

Yes that would be great, thank you.

I will pm my e-mail
Thank you
