Dear Archie,
What a thrill to receive the photo of Maudslie farm! Thank you so much. Do you think that "Pig Knolls" (where they lived at the farm) is what it sounds like? A grassy rise where they kept the pigs?
Also, thank you for the suggestions for David Paterson and Eliza Ramage. I had not considered the other spelling of Ramage so that may help me. I found a death for Elisabeth Paterson at Traquair in 1821 so Margaret might have been orphaned at birth.
I am puzzled and frustrated by not being able to find christenings for the Dickison children. Do you know of a gap in OPR records at that time? (Eliza 1845, Isabella, 1846/47, John 1848/49, David 1852, Margaret 1854)
I wonder if I can get a photo of Damhead farm (Traquair), another Dickison/Ferguson location, from the same web site?
Finally, I was born and raised in New Zealand but have lived in Florida for many years.
Thank you so much,
Anne
