Could some kind soul help me locate the following records for the following events which presumably took place in Hawick:
1. birth record for Sarah (perhaps Sarah Jane) MORLEY from 1828;

2. marriage ca. 1859-1860 between
John BILLINGTON, born 11 Nov 1828 in Birstall, Leicester
and Sarah (perhaps Sarah Jane) MORLEY; and last but not least,

3. death records for Sarah Morley's parents:
-- William MORLEY, born 1801, Neil's Yard, Churchgate, England, died 1871, Hawick
--Hannah MORLEY, nee LEWIN, born 1801, Whetstone, Leicestershire, died 1878, Hawick.

Thanks in advance. I tried to locate records at the GROS and it was a veritable Kafkaesque experience of records turning up but not being call-up-able. I thought maybe help from real human beings might work better. And, even though these ancestors were English, they were poor and came to Scotland in search of work -- I also rush to assure you all that I also have true Scots ancestors in the Gibson family...thanks again.
