Hi! I'm just making contact because I've got Scotts and Laidlaw's on my tree, although not any of these christian names yet.  I've got Helen Scott b.1834 and her Father Andrew Scott (no date yet) but,,, what brought me to your post was the Laidlaws! I've got 6 at the moment! from 1824 til the last death in 1936.
I may well come back to you and ask you for those certificates...
Thank you for your generous offer.

Kind regards
Sheila.

Also, I been trying to find out where the name Gray came from and I see you've got Grey as a surname! I've got a James Gray Amos from 1866!

Allowing for spelling mistakes and how the Mothers surname was passed down as well,,, !

This is all good!
Kind regards
Sheila.

Hi Sheila

My Laidlaws are an of shoot of the Amos Family and don't know much about them.
As for the Scott's its like looking for a needle in a haystack so many of them.
Good luck with your search and if i can help in any way get back to me.

Regards Lesley

Thanks for your reply!
Amos is the main family I am researching as well! that's where I get the names Scott and Laidlaw from!
A couple of names in my Amos tree are William, James, Walter, all regular names! They originate from the borders and around Selkirkshire and Roxburghshire, Scotland.
Is this your tree?

Regards,
Sheila.

I have just come across your posting about the Laidlaws. I have been researching the children of George Paterson and Jean Welsh of Eskdalemuir for several years. The families involved are:
Helen Paterson and Thomas Hope (my 3xggps), (inter alia) Merrylaw, Teviothead, Rox
Margaret Paterson and Peter Amos of Earlside, Cavers, Rox.
James Paterson and Margaret Brand of Terrona, Ewes, Dumfs.
Jane Paterson and Walter Irvine of Stanwix, Carlisle, Cumb.
Alison Paterson and Peter Little, MD of Langholm & Kirkmahoe, Dumf.
William Paterson of Twiglees, Eskdalemuir, Dumf. dsp.
I have no children for Margaret Amos & John Scott.
I think we are looking for the same people.  Nigel
