Donna did get in touch with me via a pm, (i had missed the thread here), and i have been able to e-mail a number of photographs and a few bits and pieces of historical information to her along with a link to a great little site about Whitsome.

Hello
My wife is doing research of her family and found that she is direct related to James Polwarth. This must be brother of David Polwarth as this tread is about, and the son of William Polwarth and Elisabeth Baird. We are now trying to find out more on the parents of William Polwarth and Elisabeth Baird.
Any tips in that direction. We are also going to Scotland, and the Duns this Christmas to try to find out more.

Dear all

Thank you for your replies. Sorry for not posting again since my original post.  I have been busy raising a young child who is now 2 so I dont get to the computer as much as I did before.

I have been helping a friend at work who is a decendent of the Polworth line.  I would be happy to pass on any info on the family if anyone is interested.

Best wishes to all
Victoria

Hi Everybody,

Just noticed these details, had William & Elizabeth only and for anyone that is interested.
Agnes Polworth b.4/9/1818 Foulden, married a William Weatherstone ( 11/6/1821 Sprouston) on 13/8/1847 at Whitsome.  William died before 1863 (no details found & Agnes after 1863 again no details).

 Daughter Elizabeth b.16/2/1844 Whitsome, married a Adam Kerr 3/7/1863 Kelso, this joins my wife's Wait Tree.

Further too my message, have tried to find 1851 census for Polworth on S.P. without sucess, have some 1851 census details and only found this.

1851 Chirnside,Harelaw.
David Polworth  H  M  23  Ag.Lab    Whitsome.
Janet                 W  M  23                Gavinton.
William               S        3                 Hutton.
John                   S        1                 Swinton.
Peter Hay          Serv.   17  Farm Serv.   Chirnside.

Nothing in 1861 for Chirnside.

Hope it helps.
