Hi David,
welcome to rootschat.
If you can give us as much info as possible then loads of people will have a go at helping.
I have just googled Canonbie and it is a small villiage in Dumfrieshire .
6 miles south of Langholm and 2 miles north of the border with England.
Is this the place that your ancestors come from?
If the Moderator could move this into the Dumfries page that would be fantastic.
kind regards,Billy.
ps, I have had a quick look in the IGI records
www.familysearch.org
there are a few Warwicks from Canonbie there.

Perhaps I'm being a bit thick here but when you say they were not present in 1911 how exactly do you know that? The Scottish 1911 census has not been released yet.

Hi Imber,
We await David for the answer,
though he did not actually mention the 1911 census.
I am also curious to know the answer,
Kind regards,Billy.

Hi
My husband John Hind Warwick is the Great granson of Andrew Warwick from this area, not sure of any dates at present.
Mr & Mrs Andrew Warwick of Norwood Cottage was presented with a marble clock (we have) in 1913 for his service as a gardener to Mr & Mrs Aitken.
Andrew had a son also John Hind Warwick, he married 3 times his son to his first wife Catherine Meiklejohn was named Andrew who was my husbands father.
John Hind Warwick MBE was a founder of Auchencruive Horticultural College Ayr and Andrew Warwick BEM my father in law was head Gardener at Culzean Castle also Ayrshire.
Hope this info is of interest I can try to find out dates if it helps.

This is really strange, my Paternal surname is Warwick BUT from Yorkshire, however tracing my maternal family I have found that a sister of my GGG Granmother Janet Lithgow married John Warwick in Canonbie on 24 April 1821. They had a son Andrew b 19 June 1822 who married Sarah Stubbs 16 February 1938. Have not researched any further yet.
