Midlothian / Re: Temple Village Midlothian

Hi Archie,

Thanks so much for having a look for me. Her maiden name was Agnes Romans and she was born in Borthwick in 1775. I have the burial index transcribed by the Lothians Family History Society and she is not in there.
I've sent off for the burial index for Newbattle parish so fingers crossed.

Btw I had another look at the 1851 census at who else was living at Templemills and there are 5 households and 3 of them are described as paupers and the other 2 retired/not working ("lately laundress" and "lately housemaid").

So I wonder if it was either a row of very modest cottages or some kind of small poor house?

Dear Archie,

I wondered if you could have a look in your Temple burial records for one David HERRIOT. Born 1768 in Newbattle he is recorded in the 1841 census as living in Temple, and in 1851 census living at Templemills, Temple as a Labourer (Pauper) and widower aged 83. Can't find him in civil records so assume he died between 1851 and 1854.

His wife was Agnes who presume died before 1841. No idea where.

He is my husband's many times g-grandfather.

Do you know anything about Templemills? We are planning to come up to Scotland and be in the area in July.

Thank you.

Kate
