Roxburghshire / Re: MIs for Hawick Cemeteries

My Waldie's are from Hawick too. I had a lady in Hawick that could look up cemetery plots for me, but she is no longer there and I see now they charge for the search. I know Hawick is popular with the family tree search and THEY (meaning Hawick) need the money, so charging for the searches makes sense.

One of my parents good friend's last name was Waldie and his father was from Hawick. He was put up for adoption (his last name changed to Brisbin) but I was asked to do some family research on the Waldie side. Well to make a long story short, I believe he is on your family tree. Now he has died but he has a son that really is a Waldie (because his dad's name was Waldie before he retired) is still alive. May I ask why you want to get a male DNA of the Waldie's? Anyway my friend's tree has William Waldie married to Marion Prentice.

I was born in Toronto, but now live in Peoria, Illinois. We move around a lot for my husband's job.

Ajjbc,

I have just found this site and am interested in a couple of things. My grandmother was from Hawick. I've made a couple of trips there while we were living in Luxembourg. I'm a Canadian living in Illinois.
Can you find out if Annie Irvine Whillans (dod 20 Mar 1912 is buried in one of the 2 Hawick cemeteries. and one other her name is Mrs. Margaret McIntyre (nee Miles). She died 30 Apr 2012 in Kelso at Queens House.

My grandmother was Margaret Douglas Robson Waldie. I see you are interested in the Waldie family. Maybe we can help each other out. My parents best friend (adopted - long story) was also a Waldie from Hawick. I have yet to find a connection other than his parents were married at my g-great uncle's place in Hamilton. His last name was Robson (also from Hawick). My family arrived in Sherbrooke, Quebec to work at the mills. I'd love to hear from you and see what info you have. My g-g-great grandfather was James Waldie married to Mary Gray 21 Jul 1807 in Edinburgh. They had 2 sons John Sibbald, my g-great grandfather (1819-1882) and James Thomas Waldie (21 Feb 1821). Do you have any of these people on your tree?
