Hi Peter

Having read "Galashiels", I feel that this Alexander must be connected to my lot, who were from Lauder, Earlston, Legerwood etc.  Cousin Ken, who was born Galashiels, has just been to S.A. on a visit to us and has a wealth of info.  He will be home in Gifford next week and is bound to be able to help you.  Please contact me off-list marielle@intekom.co.za and we will see if we can make a connection.

I have an Alexander b. 1888, who had a brother James.  Sons of Joseph MALLEN & Janet DUFFY.  Ken may have much more but I have not yet had time to sift through what he left here for me.  Even Isabella features in our tree!

Hello Helen

Georgefield features in my MALLEN family research which is strongly linked to LINDORES.  The John LINDORES and Jane TURNER mentioned below are my family.  My ggfather Alexander MALLEN m. Jane LINDORES, who was d.o. John & Jane above.  my gfather, John Lindores MALLEN, came to South Africa and married here.  Two of his children carry the LINDORES name as middle names - my mother, Jean, and uncle John (Jack).  So far I have not heard of Ladykirk mentioned either. :)

Regards
Marielle

Helen,I have gone through all the pre 1855 M.I. for Berwickshire and have found only 2 LINDORES.
If you use a map for Berwickshire you will be able to see the relationship to Gordon,Berwickshire.
 "Ledgerwood Churchyard"
"Alex Lindores died at Uplaw Mar 17 1833,age 60 yr.sister Margaret Lindores died March 10 1833 age 63.spouse Ann Kirkwood died Feb 26 1841 age 70yr.son John died at Georgefield July 10 1877 age 68yr.Jane Turner wife of John died at Fawside Sep 27 age 58yr.their daug.Annie wife of William Renwick died at Leith Sept 25 1870 32 year"

Hi Peter

I am also researching MALLEN, and the name Alexander crops up throughout the family.  I have one Alexander which might match yours.  Please contact me and we can compare notes.

My great grandfather Alexander Mallen left Galashiels
sometime prior to 1900. He appears on the 1901 Census
living in Ashton under Lyne, Lancashire aged 45. He was a market gardener.

Could anyone help me to trace near kin still living in the Galashiels area or more information about the family history please?

Thank you

Peter Cooke
