Hello list.

Thank you all of you who respond to my latest posting. I now have some
good ideas to work on and a few kind souls have offered to do a little
fossicking around for me in the readily available records. This is very
hearten and very much appreciated.

Each of you will soon receive a personal reply to answer your questions

The male line being researched is Cleghorn, with the attached female
lines. We have some records of the family going back to 1737 for the
marriage of Thomas Cleghorn and Jean Broun in Drumelzier Peebles. (We
don't have any information about Jean yet) It looks like there was a
movement of the family in the 1780/90s, and we are now trying to figure
out where they all went. Some we know went to other parishes in Peebles
others to Edinburgh and later on to the Americas. Later in the 1890s
several from Peebles ended up in New Zealand and we suspect others went to
Australia. At the moment there are too many gaps in our records to bring
all of the data into one family tree.

So once again thank to all the kind people who have shared there thoughts
with us.

Regards Greg in Raumati New Zealand
