Does anyone have any record of the parents of Mary Lawson of Avondale who married Thomas Scott on February 1824  also in Avondale. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

My GG grandfather was  the William Scott married to Agnes Meikle.I have traced William's ancestory back to Charles 11.William's parents  were Thomas (born 1802) and Mary Lawson (born 1802).Thomas's parents were William Scott (b 1770 Douglas) and Mary Hay (b 1766) Greatgranddaughter of The Marquiss of Tweeddale and Lady Jane Scott.

Hi Graham & Jo,
Thanks for the reply, you've certainly made progress on your ancestry.
William Scott and Agness are my wife's G.G. grandparents, although I have Thomas and Mary Lawson's dob as 1806. I'd appreciate any information you might have on the ancestry.

Hi Ken,
The info I have shows Mary Lawson dob as 1802 and death on 14 feb 1875 at Mitchland Lesmahagow.Her husband, Thomas Scott, parents were ,William Scott b 1770 and Mary Hay b 1766. of Netherhall Farm. Mary Hay's parents are William Hay of Lawfield and Spott and Elizabeth Sinclair. His grandfather is the Marquiss of Tweeddale and her grandmother is Lady jane Scott. the rest is easily traceable
through Burkes Peerage. I don't have any more info on William Scott's background which is a harder to trace.He was apparently the coachman and ran off with Mary who was disowned for marrying below her status. Hope this is helpful.

Once again, thanks for the information. Every little bit helps to move the research on. It will give me something to jumpstart this part of the tree.

Did you know Mary Lawson and her husband had 12 children, the last a daughter being born in 1846. I am a 2x gg grandson and currently live only 5 miles as the crows fly from the family farm of Netherhall at Sandilands.

Welcome to Rootschat! Mary Lawson was my wife's ggggrandmother and was related when the son William moved down to farm in Bury, Lancashire. I have Mary's birth as 1806, but this may be 4 years later. Also I have her parents as James Lawson and Mary Armstrong, the only marriage I can find on SP was in Glasgow in 1797. Do you have any information that adds to this or even changes any of my information? I'd appreciate anything you might have found out.
Regards
Ken
