Hello FLST, Thank you for taking the time to reply. Alison was not living on her own in 1861 census but was living with 2 of her children at Coldstream, and next door to her son James and his family. Alison died 18Th December 1869, at Humebank, Coldstream. As their son James also died at Humebank, I need to find out if this was a hospital or a home of some description, at the moment I cannot find this information. We have found the gravestone of their son James at Lennel churchyard and incidentally cleaned the stone up so that every word can be read clearly, however, there is no mention of Robert and his wife Alison. I am almost certain that they were buried together and I also feel sure that Robert will have been buried with his wife Alison at either Eccles, ( no records of them being buried there though) Chirnside or Ednom which is where they lived together for many years. I am determined and hopefully we will find their final resting place. This will mean a great deal to me. Again Thank you for your time.
