Woe is me. :'(

Thank you both for the information.  One day someone may pop up who has her in their tree.

There are 200 Burgess listed on the '51 Dumfriesshire census! So they had to have come from somewhere.

Do you know the parents of John Burgess b. 1822, Lochmaben.

I looked on Scotlands People but nothing came up.

This seems to be the problem I am having with births. It would appear, if they aren't on Scotlands People, then the births weren't registered.

That is strange, after 1855 BMD's should have been registered. Before 1855 in Scotland, it was not compulsory to register.

Janet's birth is on Family Search- just the date and place though.

Good luck with your search.

kizziemay,

I will probably be back at the library to help Jamjar with her search and, if I find any information on your John Burgess, I'll let you know.

Jamjar,

Visited the library again today, to check I hadn't missed anything.

Have printed off all the OPR's Birth/Christenings for Burgess (254) including, Burges with one S (98) Not one for Christina.
