Many thanks border terrier, yeah had found this list earlier but I am looking for any information regarding these 2 as I believe they were related but at the moment I cannot find any connection.  Have found newspaper articles and a picture of Cornet Frank Park 1897 but cannot find anything on John Park Cornet 1825.  Need to get more info on them so I can find out where they fit into my tree.  If you know of any other info it would be greatly appreciated.

Try getting in touch the Callants Club in Hawick - they run the Common Riding and keep info on the history - they have published many books on it.
