Hi all,
I am looking for a Thomas Heatlie who was born abt 1813 in Edrom Berwickshire, he was married to a Isabella Fair, i have found them with all her children from 1841 up to 1871 still in Berwickshire but after that they disappear. I have looked for a death for them both but cant find one for either of them, im hoping another pair of eyes could possibly help me please?
Thankyou in advance. :-D

Have you tried various spellings of the surname. People often then couldn,t read or write so would be unaware of any spellings done by someone recording info.

maybe the informant didnt know his age

seems to be one of those areas that changed between Scotland and England

County
Berwickshire is one of the ancient counties of Scotland and between 1890 and 1975 had a county council for local government purposes. Its county town, after which it is named, had been Berwick-upon-Tweed, but the royal burgh changed hands in 1482, subsequently becoming part of the county of Northumberland, in England. Thereafter the county's administration was conducted at Duns or Lauder until Greenlaw became the county town in 1596.[1] When a county council was established in 1890 the county town once more became Duns, where the former county's Sheriff Court still sits, and where the Scottish Borders Council still maintains a principal set of offices.
At the time of the local government reorganisation in 1975 it contained four burghs and four districts:
The royal burgh of Lauder
The burghs of Coldstream, Duns and Eyemouth
The county of Berwick East, Middle and West district

Thankyou for that info Shirley will go and have a look at it x
