Hi Anne,

             thank you for contacting me, I have some names for you regarding both Paterson and Ramage, I hope the ones you are looking for are here if not then I am sorry. I have based them being born around the 1800 mark thinking they may have been around 24 or there abouts when they were married and in their early forties when their children were married. I have also attached a photo of the farm at Mauldslie for you.

May I ask where you live please ( Area ) not full address.

Take care.

Best regards.

Archie.

Dear Archie,
What a thrill to receive the photo of Maudslie farm!  Thank you so much.  Do you think that "Pig Knolls" (where they lived at the farm) is what it sounds like?  A grassy rise where they kept the pigs?
Also, thank you for the suggestions for David Paterson and Eliza Ramage.  I had not considered the other spelling of Ramage so that may help me.  I found a death for Elisabeth Paterson at Traquair in 1821 so Margaret might have been orphaned at birth.
I am puzzled and frustrated by not being able to find christenings for the Dickison children.  Do you know of a gap in OPR records at that time? (Eliza 1845, Isabella, 1846/47, John 1848/49, David 1852, Margaret 1854)
I wonder if I can get a photo of Damhead farm (Traquair), another Dickison/Ferguson location, from the same web site?
Finally, I was born and raised in New Zealand but have lived in Florida for many years.
Thank you so much,
Anne

Hello Archie,

I'm doing research regarding my 5xGreat Grandfather John Calder who passed away in Temple Village on October 12, 1874. I came across your excellent thread a little while back and saw that my newly found cousin John B. Calder had already asked you about our common ancester. Unfortunately his original question seems to have gotten lost in all the other posts. I'd be grateful if you could provide any information at all regarding John Calder's 1874 burial in Temple Village.

Thank you also for posting that photo of Maulslie Farm. Funny enough my 4xGreat Grandfather (John Calder's son) William Lowrie Calder was listed as residing at Maulslie Stable in the 1841 census.

Cheers!

Hi Archie:
  My great-great-great-grandfather, John Calder, died in Temple village on Oct. 12, 1874. His wife, Agnes Linton, died in Middlemills, Lasswade in 1882. Do you have any record of their burial in the Temple village burial ground?
Thank you!

Hello Archie,

I've found some more children so my research on the WEST family continues.

William WEST married Catharine McKENZIE on 28 Jul 1804 in Edinburgh parish.

Seems both died before 1841 census.

Children:
Joseph b. 30 Apr 1805 Temple  possibly died 1879 Dalkeith
William  b. 30 Sep 1807 Temple  d. ? possibly before 1841
?
Mary b. abt 1816 ? Temple ?  d. 1879 St George  - married Robert HUNTER  19 Nov 1836  Temple
George  b. abt 1817 Temple ?  d. 10 Mar 1880 Temple  - married Grace HORNE  19 May 1837 Temple
?
Eliza  b. abt 1824 ? Temple ? d. 15 Jun 1853 St Cuthbert's  - married Alexander MUNRO 14 Jun 1850

Please see if you can find the births of Mary, George and Eliza in Temple and possibly other children in the gaps. And other WEST marriages in Temple of possible children of William & Catharine. Thanks.

Regards,

Fred

Hi Fred and torryburn,

                         yes please send me any details on the family in Australia, it's really wonderful knowing that the family has expanded way over the big pond, they were really Pioneers, I wonder what hardships they had to endure in those times, Australia is such a beautiful country and yet so young I have only been to Brisbane but have a nephew in Sydney.

Fred I will see what I can do regarding your quest, please give me a little time.

Regards.

Archie.

If I gave you these before I am sorry, I will look at Census returns but as far as deaths go the only place is Scotlands People site, a bit costly if you get things wrong.

Cheers.

Archie.
