Roxburghshire / Re: Lanton Jedburgh Scottish Borders

Hi there.
I'm hoping I can both help and get help.
I am searching for parents of my ancestor, Archibald Elliot. He was born 1812 in the Jedburgh region, and worked as the head gardener at Monteviott Estate, before taking a posting in 1838 to Australia on a farm as an overseer.
He left on the Rajasthan ship with his wife Mary Kerse and one child.
He is recorded on the departation list as last residing in Lanton. This might help you.
What I am looking for is any evidence that either he or his Elliot family were registered prior to 1838 in Lanton, most importantly if any names of his parents pop up.
Happy to email further info or share other info.
TIA, Cary Elliot Johnson, Australia
