It describes the history of the Dunbar/ Eyemouth area through the eyes of ten generations of the families of Miller, Baptie, Robertson, Kerr, Dods, Sinclair, Cochran, Swanston, Brodie and Wilson who lived principally in the villages of Cockburnspath, Oldhamstocks and Old Cambus. The book took some fifteen years to research mainly in the National Archives of Scotland and has a quality hard binding and very many source references, pedigrees, map and photographs. It describes border warfare, coal mining in the area, religious persecution in the 17th century, the Jacobite uprising, the agricultural revolution, and pressures that led branches of the families to emigrate to the Carribean, the Canary Islands, New Zealand and the USA. The book also traces the social development of the Miller family from being cottars in 1600 through the coalgrieve stage later in the century, to being minor, then major farm tenants, then merchants, soldiers and doctors (in Edinburgh). The book costs £20 plus P&P. Please do feel free to ask me any questions that may arise.

The law required that banns be proclaimed in the parish of the parties to be married, and if they belonged to different parishes, the banns were called in both parishes. The Register was in fact a register of the BANNS of marriage being called, and that is why with the indexes there is confusion about the dates. Banns were called on three occasions. The law intended this to be on three consecutive Sundays, but often the banns were declared three times on one day (easy if you have three services on a Sunday). The actual marriage date may also be recorded in the register (usually with the words "and were married (date)", but often this was not done. So the dates appearing in the indexes as "marriages" are usually the first date of the banns being called. Only be examining the OPR entry can you determine what the date given in the index actually signified. On the same tack, where you find a marriage entry but no children to the couple in the indexes, this often indicated that the couple either belonged to another denomination or to none. The law stipulated that the banns be declared in the Church of Scotland parish church, but this applied to non-members as well. This is most noticeable in the period 1843-1854: From the start of the Free Church to the start of Civil Registration in 1855. Best wishes to all. Gordon Johnson.

The book is called SCOTTISH SAGA - THE MILLER FAMILY IN SCOTLAND 1600-1999 by William Miller, and is hard covered, with a quality binding, and many photographs, maps and pedigrees. It took me about twenty years to research, mainly in the National Archives of Scotland. It describes the history of the villages of Oldhamstocks, Cockburnspath and Old Cambus through the eyes of ten generations of the Miller family and associated families (Baptie, Swanston, Robertson, Sleigh, Kerr, Dods, Sinclair, Merrilees, Cochran, Sheriff, Burn). Please let me know if you would like to buy the book which costs £20 GBP plus postage.

I have the copies of the original pages from the Scottish Records office website and they are church accounts rather than "true" records of marriage and as Prue pointed out they are probably the fees paid for the Banns to be read out in each of their parishes. The dates are about a year apart but the money could have been paid at any time. Thanks again for all your advice Gavin "Gavin McLelland" <gavin.mclelland@btinternet.com> 2008-11-27T06:05:35-06:00
