Hume - East Barns, Innerwick

[gilmorgan]

Brick wall in early 1700s.  I have Robert Hume married to Elizabeth Simpson.  She was baptised at Innerwick 1733/34.  Robert had a brother George, also married to another Simpson - Agnes.  Cannot find any record of baptism of either Robert or George.  Anyone researching this family with more information please?  I have the children of Robert and Elizabeth but can't get any further back with the Hume side.  Have also tried Oldhamstocks records with no luck either.

Have you tried Scotlands People to check if baptisms available?

Stephanie, I'm a regular subscriber to Scotland's People but haven't had any luck getting back any further.  I know I'm in dodgy times in the early 1700s.  My family did have a tree going back to the 1300s via the Humes but my sister decided to throw it out as she wasn't interested in family history!!  I'm now thinking I'll need to find a good genealogist to dig a bit further.  All I can recall is my father saying we came down through the "Bloody Humes", referring to a battle at some stage.  I'll be back in Edinburgh (from Oz) in June so might seek help then.  Gillian
