Thanks for the post with details of the will.   I think John Brodie may have been one of the members of the Peebles Gutterbluid Club.  He attended their annual meetings in 1829, 1830 and 1831.

 I note a "Fergusson" photo on your profile page - are you descended from any of the Fergussons in Peebles?  MVS

Peeblesshire / Spalding or Spalden in Peebles
« on: Friday 06 October 06 17:42 BST (UK)  »
I am searching for parents of William Spalding (or Spalden) who married Janet Wilson in Peebles in 1769.

It appears that he was not born in Peebles although he did live there until he died, sometime after 1815.

He was a nursuryman and they had children James and Margaret (and perhaps others) and the occupation of nursuryman carried on in the family until at least the 1920's.

Any information or connections to this family, greatly appreciated.  The last record I have of a Spalding in Peebles is a Marion Spalding, who died in the 1960's.
