I have been following up on my Granny's cousin, the 1919 Cornet TG Winning, and managed to get a good photo of him as an adult, rather than the grainy family photo I had of him as a child. Having worked out his story, I wanted to do something with it.
So I have just started to put together a blog [http://hawickcornets.wordpress.com/] in which I will follow up "my" Cornet, and many of the others - using Census and other info.
I would appreciate putting your Cornet's picture on the site - and his story as well?
Let me know what you think

Hi SafeOot.
My Grannys Cousin was also Cornet in 1902. William Nichol Graham. I have a good photo of him and also a postcard of "past cornets" if you are interested in it for your site.
Please pm me and let me know.

Hi again, you are certainly busy climbing our tree :D
Closest I have managed to get for James Richardson is b1837/8 Hawick and d1900 in Hawick,though I havent got his death or birth info confirmed. (found this info on ancestry site.) Good luck in finding the correct details, I'm being sidetracked up and down other branches at the moment. I agree with you. The things we do for fun eh ;D
I heard through the family grapevine, another cornet was a Billy Murray,( my nan Grace Anderson's sister Margaret's son), the nearest I can get to confirming this is a Phillip Murray in 1972. The frustrating part is getting his brother Tom,to confirm it was him.

I have a photo of Billy as a cornet, when I get to locate it, will put it on site
Happy Hunting
