Aicherbeck listed on Birth registration Canonbie, Scotland
« on: Sunday 20 April 14 06:11 BST (UK) »
I have just found the birth registration for my GGGrand Mother and it reads William and Betty Jardine(s) Aicherbeck?? had an illegitimate daughter on 15 January 1812 from the OPR Births 814/0020 0252 Canonbie.

I am really interested if Aicherbeck is a house name/village or what?  If I can source this information I may be able to track down her father's information.  I know that Jannet's daughter, Elizabeth married Andrew Jardine who was her third cousin. So this information would help on both sides of the tree.

Archer Beck is the name of a stream in the parish. Also the name of a small settlement (Archerbeck). You will find it if you look on the maps in the free National Library of Scotland maps website.

As for the s in "Jardines", it was normal, when two or more people shared the same surname, to add s.

Further to GR2's post, Archerbeck was a farmstead near the Archer Beck burn, according to the ScotlandsPlaces (subscription) website. A coalmine was also established there in the 1770s and coal working continued there until the 1940s.
