Hi folks,
Does anyone have info, or know where I can get such info on M I's for Hawick cemeteries?
I am looking for an inscription for William Brown, a Coachman with the Royal Bank of Scotland in Hawick, who died 15/8/1881. His estate suggests that he was able to afford a headstone.
Any help appreciated
Gary

The only MIs for Hawick are on Hawick Archeological ? Society Transactions copies are in the Heritage Hub reoords office Hawick .

Thanks for that Alan,
went to the site........really can't understand how it works and what they have to offer.....they don't even have there subjects in alphabetical order.
I should be thankful that not all my ancestors came from Hawick.
Regards
Gary

Additional problem too - there are three graveyards that would have been open at that date - Wellogate, Wilton and the Episcopalian one - St Marys I think would have been 'full' by then. Haining's papers are not indexed completely, but it might be worth contacting the Hawick Archaeological Society itself - it does have a website - to see if someone would be kind enough to look for you.
