Berwickshire / Re: Bleachfield Papermill - Ayton
« on: Friday 05 November 10 18:16 GMT (UK) »
Hi Jim
I think we are related, my 3 times great grandfather was Alexander Greig who married Margaret Symington from Ayton. They were papermakers and lived at Bleachfield on 1851 census, Blackfield House on 1861 census ( could be a transcription error). I visited Ayton last week but couldn't find the house or mill. I have contacted Ayton history society for information. I'll let you know if I hear anything.
