Berwickshire / Re: Bogend Farm near Duns, Berwickshire

My great grandfather William Fletcher Mitchell was born at Bogend farm in 1857. He grew up in the servants house but on the 1881 census he is working as a carter at Cairns mill. In 1885 he married Margaret Scott and moved to Jarrow on Tyne and worked in the ship yards until he died in 1916 aged 59.
His parents James and Euphemia Mitchell (nee Smith) came to Bogend some time between 1851 and 1861 where James worked as a shepherd until he died in 1898 aged 76.
I know it's a long shot but it would be great to see a photo of my great grandfather as we don't have any.
