Family History Research

In the Eckford Parish records, I found a notation: 1785 November 13 William Robson in Eckford Moss was baptized. He was born the 2nd of November 1768. November 13 Andrew Alexander in Eckford Moss his child baptized William. I would be interested in learning any genealogical information about William Robson or his father Andrew Alexander Robson. Thanks, Susan

I saw the title do you have Eckford ancestors and thought Id right something as my Name is Sarah Eckford. So im pretty sure at some point in the past my relatives would have lived in Eckford.

I just tracked my great-great-great-great grandfather here. According to 1841 Scotland census he was born in Eckford about 1811 and raised his family in the Roxburgshire area. The family consisted of John and Janet Richardson along with 6 kids James, Janet, Mary, John, William and Anges. I am excited to visit Scotland for the first time this St Andrews Day. Cheers from San Francisco, John Rob Richardson

I have been researching my Robson ancestors. I have been told that there is a family grave in the Eckford cemetary. Apparently on it, it mentions that the sons emigrated to Canada.

I was hoping that someone might have some information about their parents or the ancestors that came before them. Unfortunately, I seem to have hit a major roadblock.

I am currently tyring to compile a family tree, my father Andrew Younger was born in the parish of Ekford at Ormston Mains on January 24th 1890 and died 1948 in Bristol England. His pouse was Margaret Mcneill who died January 26th 1934. his father was Thomas Burnet Younger. If anyone knows any information about the Younger Family from this area I would be pleased to hear from you. cybr21713@blueyonder.co.uk

I was looking for information on the Ruthefords of Eckford. My great great great grandfather was Archibald Rutherford and my great great grandmother was his daughter Alison Rutherford. They immigrated to Harvey, New Brunswick Canada in 1852.

I am Roger Lewry and can be contacted at FamHistRCL-001@yahoo.co.uk. My great, great, great uncle was James Brunlees of Kelso (later Sir James Kelso after being knighted by Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle in 1886). In 1841 his son Howard Brunlees was living at Mansion House, Eckford with his wife Eliza and nephew Ronald. Jane Innes Brunlees (sister of James Brunlees) married Andrew Paterson (both of Kelso) and they were my great, great grandparents. If anyone can tell me more about either of these families or the house in Eckford I shall be delighted to hear from them.

I have ancestors from Ecford (and Crailing)-Ruthefords, Balmers and Glendinnings. My GGgrandparents were married at Eckford on 28/11/1828 i.e. Elizabeth Balmer and Walter Glendinning.My great grandfather William Rutherford was born at a place called Kersmain-I think part of Ecford.
