Roxburghshire / Re: Graveyards in Castleton & Newcastleton Rox. with Croziers

Women are usually buried under their maiden name so Isabella Nichol is buried under Purdom in Castleton.  Matthew Nichol died in Florida in 1921 aged 79 years. 

Liddesdale monumental inscriptions are available at the Scottish Genealogy Society but we have the books in our Archive at Borders Family History Society

Castleton is the parish and survived as a village until 1793 when Newcastleton was created by the Duke of Buccleuch.  Robert Crozier is in Castleton graveyard. 

Saughtree if the more modern graveyard from 1861 and is 6 miles northeast of Newcastleton.  There is also Ettleton graveyard from 1708 all in the same parish

Roxburghshire / Re: Lilliesleaf - Dods

I think that is an error from the Latter Day Saints IGI, Carol  Nearly all the  Lilliesleaf christenings are supposed to be christened at Makestoun but there is no reason why that would be and there are too many for it to be correct.

Northamptonshire / Re: Halmstone? poss near Maidford

Thanks been suggested before that it could be Harlestone but the M is pretty clear so just not sure.  I have a likely baptism at Maidford but can't put it on my tree as just not sure.

Yep Ancestry have it as Maryhill, Barony and FindMyPast have it as Maryhill, but say Lanark.

Halling is not a Scottish name and her death in 1861 doesn't give her husband's first name unfortunately and her will gives only one daughter Jessie living in Australia so this lady is a bit of a mystery.  Hoped the place she lived might give a clue but it is all confusing.

thanks for help.  She seemed to work as  a housekeeper for well off people and was proprietor of a  house on Garscube Road so perhaps it was same area.

The more you find out the more there is to find out!
