Commentary

 

John Anderson was born at Fogo, Berwickshire, his occupation was a Ploughman and he lived at Coldstream Mains. His Wife Agnes (Robson?) was born at Swinton. In the 1861 census, John’s mother in law was Jane Robson, age 57 years and a Domestic Servant putting the name Robertson in doubt. Son James, age 15 years was born in Duns and he was an Agricultural Servant. However, this does not seem to be the James Easton above. Daughter Jane, age 18 years was born in Duns and was a Domestic Servant. However, again this does not seem to be the Jane Easton above. Ann, daughter, age 13 years was born at Polwarth. (NB the 1861 census would have made Ann 88 years on death, is this the same one?). Agnes, daughter, was also born at Polwarth.
