Hello All
I am looking for the birth and/or death of John Grierson (weaver) in order to further prove his/ my line. His mother's name would do the trick !!! I believe John was born ca 1775 in Dumfriesshire.
I have John's (Sp. Grirson) marriage to Janet Lockerbie August 10 , 1804. John and Janet are listed in the 1841 and 1851 census............all in the parish of Lochmaben, Dumfries They had 6 children.
They disappear following the 1851 census.
Anyone know a secret source ???
Be safe everyone !

JOHN GREARSON/JANET LOCKERBIE - Lochmaben
GRACE & MARGARET 16/07/1806, JOHN 25/08/1808 (Noted as Grive)
JAMES 24/12/1810, THOMAS 30/08/1813, MATHEW 17/11/1816
I wonder if this is JOHN GRIERSON 16/08/1778 parents JOHN GRIERSON/MARGARET PEARSON, Penpont, Dumfriesshire - Brother WILLIAM 25/09/1780 (No marriage for the parents)?
Could this be Janet but there are two other options.
JEANLOCKERBIE parents WILLIAM LOCKERBIE/GRACE HARKNESS 17/03/1776 Lochmaben

Thank you both for your help...Annie ... do you have a copy of the MRI Booklet ? Does the name Grierson appeaar? Before I make the purchase?
Colin and Annie
Looking at the children... about time I re-looked at what I have .. Janet Lockerbie's mother was Grizzel or Grace Bell..one name looked after! Leaves me Margaret!
Son John's death certificate 1891 says father is John and mother Janet Lockerbie
So... I am going to look seriously at John and Margaret Pearson with John's birth ca 1778.
Thanks again and Happy Christmas....Be Safe
