I am hoping somebody will be able to help me find out more about an Agnes Johnston Turner born 26th July 1895 at Eckford Roxburgh. Her Mother was Isabella Turner born 19th Jan 1875 in Roxburgh. Isabella's parents were James Turner and Mary McLevy. Any connection to this family would be very much appreciated whether direct or distant. Fingers crossed that someone will take pity on me and help me out! Many thanks :)

Thank you so much Catherine. I do have this info but you've deciphered it far better than I have as I could not make out addresses and the like. Great help as I am going over that way to try and locate where the turners lived - now I actually have addresses to follow!

I am interested to find out if Agnes j Turner had and other children other than the one I know about - any suggestions?

Thanks again
Carrie
