Rachael Hastie d.Feb 1875

[swinney]

good day all.
Looking for help with birth and marriage info on my 3rd gt grandmother.
She was born about 1807 (from death certificate,no parents listed, only husband)
All censuses show she was born inTweedmouth/Berwick.

Her huband was James Hastie ( blacksmith) b1808  statuses state Tweedmouth also. Although dna has proven a link to james hastie born 1808 in edinburgh

She had 8 children to james
She also had an illegitimate child prior to meeting James Hastie.

For the life of me i cannot find birth or marriage records for Rachael/Rachel

I have tried all variations on name. Nothing. I have trawled through bishops transcripts , birth and baptisms records, marriage records but unable to find anything on  her prior to 1827.

I am Currently looking into a possible fisher woman connection on the east coast. As a lot of women followed the herring. From the north of scotland to the south of england, many of which married locals and settled.


Any help would be appreciated

Rachael appears ro be a bit of a mystery.. no birth.. or born under a different name.. her death cert does not show any parentage.
I had all the information on the children and censuses.
Still cannot locate and marriage for her.
