Mallaig.I wrote too much the first time so will try again. I knew all the people written about, Martins, Johnstons and Aitchisons and was fascinated to read so much about them.

Posted by Janet on 17 July 2010 I remember Bessie Moore sitting in Maggie Carter's flat (Upper Burnmouth) singing Changing Partners one evening. She seemed to me quite a character. That would be in the mid 70s. When did Bessie die? Did she live to a good age? Posted by Janet on 17 July 2010 Anderson Moore Left another message on another site asking for information on Anderson Moore. We grew up together in the Gorbals, Glasgow and his Mum gave me one of the best holidays ever in Burnmouth. Unfortunatly I cannot remember any of his relatives although there were a few. Andy's older brother made a nameplate for their "cottage", called it "the Moorings", it was at the end of the row overlooking the railway line. Appreciate if anyone can give me any information as I will probably be visiting within the year from Canada and would like to meet with him again. Thanks, Irvine. Posted by Irvine Russell on 13 July 2010 Andy Moore's well and still living in the village (my dad's Cousin). Remember the odd visit as a youngster i to Glasgow with his family (Davy his Brother) and his mum ('Aunt Bessie') we would visit Jean, Bessie Kirkland? If those names ring a bell? drop me an email and I'll print it off and get Andy to drop you a line :-) Stew Posted by stew Bell on 13 July 2010 Stew(art), Appreciate you getting back to me as quick as you did, hope everyone is well and what is Andy working at now or has he retired ?? This is quite the web site for such a small village, very surprising. Hope this goes through with my 'e'mail address as others that I sent through the "Friends Reunited" site have not, tell him he can also check that site, there's even a happy smiling 16 year old in a school picture, (irv73@rogers.co). Pat, my wife and I have been in Canada since'78 with son and daughter, live in a small town called Paris, about an hour west of Toronto. Stew, I've got to get back to work, break's over, again thanks for getting in touch and hope everyone is well. Irvine. Posted by Irvine Russell on 15 July 2010 I remember very clearly visiting "Auntie Mary" and Ailsie as a girl. They lived in a house at the far end of the right hand side road. Ailsie used to "go to the whelks." If anyone would like info. on the Burnmouth families who moved to Mallaig, please email me. Best wishes, Jane Posted by Jaane on 26 June 2010 I remember being taken to visit Mary and Ailsie by my uncle alistair who lived in Edinburgh. In the eaely 50s Mary Martin lived at 6 Cowdrait & her cousin Ailsie lived at N No 8. They later moved to the house at Ross (with your back to the harbour, last on the left before you turn the corner into Ross). Mary Martin died in 1967 - she is listed on the family stone at Ayton Churchyard. But when did Ailsie die? Info. would be welcome. Janet Posted by Janet on 27 June 2010 Fraser family Hello. I have been trying to trace my husbands grandmother, Sarah Fraser, for a long time and can find only her marriage, to Walter Tyrrell in Newcastle. She only stated that she came from Scotland, and her father was Andrew Fraser from Dunbar. In the now released 1911 census, it states that she came from Burnmouth, year of birth 1862. Could anyone tell me who I could contact to try and trace Sarah and her family. Your help could open a few doors for us. Many thanks in anticipation.

Posted by Doug Spratt on 05 June 2010 Dear Doug Sorry for the delay in replying, we have just got back from hols in the Western Isles of Scotland. What a marvellous man you are! You have even traced this all the way through to my father-in-law, Fredrick Tyrrell. I just don't know what to say. This information has filled a huge gap in my husbands family tree. His father, Fred, left home aged about 15 yrs, and went south. There he joined the Royal Navy and only returned home to see his father, when the Navy informed him of his mothers (Sarah) death. Hence the reason my husband knew nothing about his ancestors. I have successfully filled the tree with Tyrrell's but was completely stuck with the Fraser side. I can't thank you enough. We hope to visit the Eastern side of Scotland in the near future and you can bet Burnmouth will be on our list. Once again, many many many thanks for your help. Regards Susan Tyrrell Posted by Susan Tyrrell on 13 June 2010 I'm pleased to have been of some help. Please contact me via my email - I think I have a bit more which will be of interest to you. Doug. Posted by on 13 June 2010 Sorry Doug i don't seem to be able to find your email address. Susan Posted by Susan Tyrrell on 21 June 2010 Hover cursor over my highlighted name at the bottom of my first message and the email address will appear on the bottom left of your screen. Doug.
