Apologies, in the meassage above I should have given James Anderson's birth year as 1862. Jane Spouse was born in 1860.

I am looking for info on Mary Lindores b 1860 who married Robert Miller Paxton of Tweedmouth. He rarents were Agnes Greenlaw and Thomas Lindores. Any help gladly received. Dare I hope for a photo?

My grandfather died in Gordon in 1947. His address was given as Harbour View Burnmouth-a house I have never been able to find when visiting. Can anyone help? He was staying with his son James Paterson who went on to run the post office in St Abbs.
His sister Mary married an Alexander Spouse and lived in Eyemouth.
I never knew any of them due to a family dispute!!
All information has been found through records but does not help give an idea of what hey were like .Can anyone help with any information for my family tree research.

Looking for help in tracing who owned / ran the boats 'The Good Hope' and 'The Dolly Graham' back in the late 1940's and 1950's. They were ' cousins' of my wife's family and as a young girl she remembers they used to meet up when she and her parents holidayed at Eyemouth. Her father sometimes went out with the cousins fishing over night. She and her sisters recall the names 'Eck and Lizzie' and thinks one of the associated family names was Lindores. Would very much like to reconnect with local family if posible. Stuart

Anderson connections
Firstly a very happy new year to everyone and many thanks to those who kindly helped with family tree research in 2008.

I wonder if anyone can confirm the following? My great grandfather was James Anderson, 1st cousin to John Anderson (1856-1927) who lived in Nulla Ghar in Burnmouth on his return from teaching in India.

I have been given an interesting letter sent from Karachi to my great grandfather from a Robbie dated 1927 and talking of his father's death. I'm assuming that Robbie was John Anderson's son (from the date)but have found no record of this. The letter refers to Nellie (I assume Ellen Anderson, John's daughter) and 'wee Jock' John Anderson's grandson? Also reference to two boats 'The Pamela' gifted to my great grandfather in the letter, and named after Robbie's youngest daughter, and 'The Ivanhoe', my great grandfather's boat which I understand was the first fishing boat in Burnmouth to have an engine.

If anyone can confirm my assumption or has an interest in the letter please get in touch. John

My grandfather lived at Lamberton and went to school in Burnmouth with his two sisters. He was Oswald Skene and his sisters were Agnes and Anne.

Does anyone know if there are any old school photos from around 1910 onwards

I wonder if anybody has any information about my great grandparent - James Muirhead who was born in Burnmouth in 1862. His father Robert Muirhead was a railway porter and lived in the Station Cottages along with his wife Emily (amelia).

I was interested in the comments from Joan (nee Spouse) McGiveron. I am connected to her X 3 great grandfather Thomas Spouse. His wife, Apelina Purves was the grand daughter of my x4 great grandparents Thomas Huntly and Apalina Newton. Details on Thomas Huntly can be found on Rootsweb.

Apelina Purves was the daughter of Margaret Huntly and John Purves. She died in Edinburgh age 90 on 11th August 1879.

I wondered if anyone could help with family history research. My Great, Great grandmothers sister Rosanna ran the Flemington Inn. I am just sorting out all my information and searched on line for the Inn. Very upset to find it is no longer there! My Great grandfather's sister lived there for a while - we think she was probably hired help. I have found the 1881 census and see that Rosanna must have married a Robert Dean from Dallas. Would anyone have any information from that time or a decent old photograph of the inn. Thanks
