Roxburghshire / Re: MIs for Hawick Cemeteries

I have no information on James Hay, but I have just been doing something on Robert Hay [1781 - 1832] innkeeper of the Crown Inn on the High St, Hawick, and wife Ann d 1848.

My interest is in their son Thomas Hay d 1851 at age 23 - he was a Cornet [principal in the annual Common Riding]

I would be grateful for any MI [or information] on this Hay family

Thanks

Neil Wallace

[I am researching the Cornets since 1703 - slowly!!!! - and writing them up on a blog http://hawickcornets.wordpress.com ]

Hi there,

I am looking for lots of names  :-[, which is why I was hoping to be able to buy them from somewhere.  I have the booklet for Liddesdale, where most of my Borders ancestors were from, but they ultimately moved to Hawick.

I would be most interested in any entries for Hume (especially with first name Walter - I am looking for 3 generations of those) and Hay - especially James Hay (born ca 1817 in Hawick) and his wife Margaret Best.  Both of these families married into my Elliot line, but are proving problematic!

Many thanks,
Clare

I have been following up on my Granny's cousin, the 1919 Cornet TG Winning, and managed to get a good photo of him as an adult, rather than the grainy family photo I had of him as a child. Having worked out his story, I wanted to do something with it.

So I have just started to put together a blog [http://hawickcornets.wordpress.com/] in which I will follow up "my" Cornet, and many of the others - using Census and other info.

I would appreciate putting your Cornet's picture on the site - and his story as well?

Let me know what you think
