Hello All

I am looking for any details regarding William Weatherston, who was born (as stated in various census returns) circa 1800, at Broomhill, Greenlaw, Scotland. (I'm not convinced that he was born there, though he may have spent his childhood in that area.)

I have found his marriage to Elizabeth Fleming at Hutton in Jun 1821, and his whereabouts in subsequent census returns, but have not been able to find any info before 1821.

Would anyone have any information about him? I've been looking for nearly ten years!?!

Many thanks

Poppy

Hello Ann

The marriage record is the correct one. Hutton is in the Scottish borders not far from Greenlaw. I have records after 1821, but none before.

Thank you for looking for me. :-)
