Still cannot find the birth of Ann Elliot married to Joseph Gibson in Coldstream and then Eglingham. Banns both of Bewick(did it mean Berwick?)Witnesses John Elliot and James Gibson.
Census 1841 and 1851 both state she was born in the county at Ilderton and Elderton, she was born about 1791, by census age. Death in Brewick Upon Tweed Workhouse 1857 gives her age as born in 1785!!
Her sons were 1. George and 2. Joseph. Do naming patterns apply?
Are Ilderton, Bewick(if it exists) and Eglingham in close proximity?
Here's hoping someone may give me a geographical clue, or someone who is experienced at searchhhhhing may have some pointers.
Joseph Gibson is just as elusive - census says 1. born in county, 2. born in Scotland!
