GGGrandfather James born approx 1816?

Margaret Report 2 Dec 2007 20:20

'Married' Isabel or Isabella (Howison?) and had 5 sons and 4 daughters with only 5 children surviving their early years.

James was a Wool Framework Knitter in the Borders regions-probably Hawick.

I can't find his parents. The only lead I have is Robert Murray-Burgess of Lauder who had 4 sons-Thomas born 1803; Robert born 1807; John born 1809 and James born 1812.

These Christian names all appear in my family so I am hopeful but have no proof!

Can anyone help please?
