Thank you so much Gadget.  I am such an amateur.  what you have found is so very interesting.  maybe i can add some fuel by telling you that Allexander and Janet's first born was Janet Shackleton Scott (born sept 6, 1871, Dimplekknowe) - she married  in Canada and went by the nickname...wait for it.....Jesse.  While thier second child was born  Mary 25, 1874, at Sinton Gardens and named.....John Grieve Scott.  Happy to add to the mystery.

Hi
is there any connection to James Grieve and Janet Wight ?
He died at Sinton Gardens in 10 July 1871 and she died there 2 February 1863, she was from Bowden.
He was born at Thirlstone, Ettrick 22 Nov 1783 to Walter Grieve and Agnes Kerr they were married at Ettrick in 10 January 1783
they had, confirmed by death records
Isabel about 1809, Bowden she died 1894 at Broomhill, Selkirk, Selkirkshire, Scotland, she was married to George Hogg
William about 1827 at Ashkirk, died 30 July 1902 Synton Mill Farm, a descendant of his is a DNA match to me which has me trying to tie up thier Grieves to mine.
They had at Ashkirk Andrew 1820 and John 1824 the only two children i could find for them.
one of Isabel's children was with William on a census which led me to her.
So above Margaret Grieve could well be a child of theirs, as there is a big gap in baptismal records for the family
Jessie 1818 and Thomas 1830 and Walter 1840 show on census records with them
