A couple of christenings of interest to me:
Janet Donaldson, natural daughter of Janet Donaldson was born on the 24th July 1802 and baptized on the 24th March 1811 by the Revd Dr John Lee.
Alexander Donaldson, natural son of the said Janet Donaldson was born on the 25th March 1805 and baptized on the 24th March 1811 by the Revd Dr John Lee, Minr Peebles.
If anyone happens to have access to the Kirk Session Records for Peebles Parish, I'd appreciate if they could have a look for any references to these two births.
I suspect that Alexander is the son of John Brodie & Alison Logan (John christened 9 Jan 1785, son of John Brodie, smith in Shortlandend near Temple Bar. John Brodie married Margaret Thorburn and died 1860 in Rutherford Villa, Linton).
Alexander Brodie of Linton Parish and Martha Hastings (Hastie) marry in Westruther on 12 Apr 1835. In each of the 1851, 1861 and 1871 census, Alexander's birthplace is given as Peebeles, Peeblesshire.
