Many thanks looby for all your information, certainly plenty to sort out. Would appreciate if anyone could suggest where I can find Cavers parish records as I will be visiting area later this year. would the heritage hub in Hawick hold these records? Still curious about Christian Weir-Peter Smiths mother. Again many thanks looby.

Regards  Grant

Thank you for your very helpful reply have noted details of the children of peter and his wife. I know he was born in Kirton near Cavers in 1926. I can not find any details of his mother,Christian Weir, apart from her marriage to Walter Smith. I would also like to trace Peter after his wife died.

Roxburghshire / Walter Smith/Christian Weir 1826 Cavers
« on: Monday 08 April 13 15:13 BST (UK)  »
Walter Smith and Christian Weir were married at Cavers on 15/1/1826.(IGI)  Walter was born 1802, I have all details of him and his second marriage when married to janet Little apart from their marriage date. However have recently discovered his first marriage to Christian Weir. I know he had a son Peter about 1826/7 and suspect she may have died soon after but unable to find details of him, Christian, or her family. Have tried IGI and scotlands people to no avail. Is there anyone who can give any information on them

Hi jcarrz

Just noticed you post about Greenshields. I am descended from Helen J who married an Alan Cuthbertson Their daughter Agnes was my grandmother. I had got back as far as James 1819 but hadnt got any further than that. We may be related!

I have Greenshields in my family.

Annabella Greenshields born in Kirkoswald, 1855-1934 (married Hugh Murray)
Her parents were James Gillies Greenshields born Monkton (1819 - 1902) and Isabella Moffat born in Fewnwick (1825-1897)
Other children were:

Robert, James, Mary, Agnes, Helen, Hugh, David, Elizabeth & Jeanie

I have James Greenshields parents as Michael Greenshields born Belfast (1777-1855) and Mary Gillies born 1786. Michaels parents as Campbell Greenshields and Annie Gibson. I think I read somewhere about Michael coming from Ireland and changing his surname to green shields from something else.

Any info on the Greenshields would be great.

Hello Jan

Noticed in your posting a Smith interest in your family history.
Mine too, mainly in Hobkirk area but maybe some connection.
Would be interested to hear about yours

Regards Grant

Hi Bougie

Is it possible to look up in your book for my grandfather William Grant Smith who fought in WW1.

He was in the RFA no. 227836 and was awarded the military medal.
His parents had a licenced grosers shop in Hawick High Street,

Regards
