Reseach notes

George's birth date/place

George is shown as 70 born Scotland in the 1841 census, in which census enumerators were instructed to round ages down to the nearest multiple of 5 for adults (over 15).

So George is in theory born between 1766 through 1771.

As he states he was born in Scotland, rather than "in county:, he has come to Berwickshire from elsewhere in Scotland, possibly Roxburgh or Haddingtonshire? Henderson-2297 01:16, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
