I don't know if you ever had a reply to this.  Sorry I can't help either, but was interested in your ancestors. Actually I was looking for Merrylees at the time of finding this - but anyhow...

One of the ancestors is William Horsburgh (Horseurgh) who married Margaret Skirving in 1756 (Prestonkirk).  When tracing their descendents her name is variously given as Skirving/Skirven.  They lived and died in Morham, East Lothian, Scotland.

Is she a part of your history?

Hi Kate and Dave
Looking for Skirvin or Skirvine, have Agnes about 1640 married to William Knox before 1668 son Adam born at Whittingehame that year.
Also Agnes Skirvin born at Whittingehame 1675 daughter of Adam Skirvine and Agnes Neilsone married there Feb 1669
