BRASH,CROZIER,Hawick.

[Terie]

Does anyone have a Brash or Crozier in their family tree?

Margaret Brash,ms Crozier had a son John Crozier born approx 1833 in Hawick who married Elizabeth Daykins on Nov 14th 1856.
Known children are,James,Margaret,Peter,Ann,Archibald,John and William.
John Crozier died May 25th 1906 age 72yrs at 7 Beaconsfield Terrace,Hawick.

Margaret Brash also had a daughter,Jane Brash born approx 1820 in Ireland,recorded in Hawick from 1841 census onward.
Margaret Brash died Sept 22nd 1860 at 3 Midrow,Hawick,her parents are listed as Adam Crozier and Jane Murray.It's likely that Margaret's husband was Andrew Brash and he was Irish,
 the only other Brash on the 1841 census in Roxburghshire is Andrew Brash age 15yrs in Hobkirk and he may be another of Margaret's sons,in 1851 he is also living in Hawick.

Jane Brash had a dau Isabella Haddon,and sons Andrew and James Brash.

The surname Brash is very rare in Hawick so I am hoping someone might recognize it,

At the end of my line I have a Jane Crozier, in Kirkton b.1726 d. 1757,   married Walter Cavers b.1710 d.1780.  i have no further information on the Crozier family  would be interesting if  someone has this family back this far.

Hi,

I have a few Croziers in my tree - all based in Castleton Parish, rather than in Hawick (but they are fairly close).  No obvious links but here is what I have:

1. John Crozier m. Janet Rule (no dates)

Their children that I know of
1.1 John b. circa 1775 m. Isabel Scott

Children of John and Isabel
1.1.1 Janet b. 1791
1.1.2 Betty b. 1800
1.1.3 Catherine b. 1805 m. William Elliot (this is my direct line)
1.1.4 John b.1808 m. Agnes Oliver

Children of John and Agnes (no confirmed dates)
1.1.4.1 Catherine b. circa 1841
1.1.4.2 Janet b. circa 1851
1.1.4.3 James b. circa 1860
1.1.4.4 John no date

Not sure if this is of help to anyone - no obvious links to anyone with the name BRASH that I can see either.

Cheers,
Clare

Thanks Clare for your reply, can't see any connection and haven't been able to find any early records for Adam Crozier at all,

still looking for anyone with the surname Brash in their family,

Hi Amanda,

Do you have any idea when you think Adam Crozier may have been born?  Sometime in the 1780s or so?

Cheers,
Clare

My great grandfather was Peter Crozier, son of John Crozier and Elizabeth Daykins. I do not have any parents listed for John as yet so your email is of interest to me. I can supply you with some detail of Peter's family.

Hi Coral,thanks for your reply, I have Peter Crozier married to 1st Mary Scott Blythe 1882,Hawick,from the census records 2 children,Helen and John,is that correct? Peter married 2nd
Isabella Ogilvie on 7th June 1900 at Hawick,I have not looked for any children for them,  Isabella Ogilvie is connected to the Bowie family which have been discussed on the list.

Peter's brother Archibald married Annie Foley 31st Dec 1891 at Hawick,
Their sister Margaret Crozier married Daniel Shannon July 1st 1881,Hawick.

If you can add anything to Peter's family that would be great, have you researched the Daykins family at all?

John Crozier was recorded on the 1841 and 1851 with his mother Margaret Crozier & family,

Amanda.

Hello Amanda

Yep this is my family! Mary Scott Blythe who married Peter 13 Oct 1882 was my great grandmother. Peter and Mary's children were Ellen (not Helen) who was my grandmother and John. To my knowledge Peter had no other children.

Nanna's full name was Ellen Wilson Crozier and was born in Hawick 29 March 1884. She died 28 Nov 1963 in Sydney Australia. This is where I live. Peter divorced Mary and then married Isabella Ogilvie. I don't know what happened to that marriage but he later married Janet Lambert who was his wife when he died 2 Oct 1927 in Hawick.

Nanna married an Englishman and they emigrated to Australia in 1929.

I'll put some information together for you but it won't be until after Christmas as its a really busy time for me now. I must let you know that I have not done a lot of research but I do have some information on the Daykins.

Have a lovely Christmas.

Do any of these Croziers shake any leaves in your trees?
