SCOON - HAWICK OPRs

This page shows the detail held in the Hawick registers for Scoons, where possible listed against the location shown for the father.

There are a number of cases where I have combined entries. These combinations come from cases where events appear twice in the Hawick registers. It is possible that parishioners in the Branxholm area worshipped locally and that events recorded there were copied later into the main Hawick register, but I have been unable to get this confirmed.

Amendments appear to some entries referring to the Scoons at Branxholmtown . I have shown these in their amended form and noted how I have dealt with discrepancies in 'combined' cases. Please note that a few of these involve an element of personal interpretation and you are advised to review the original records before using them in your own tree.

Standards used: dates in DD/MM/YYYY format; '?' following a name indicates doubt about my interpretation; '??' indicates undecipherable word/name; '--' means blank space left on register, e.g. where space has been left for an unknown given name; spellings left as original
