There was little welfare available before the 20th century, so people had to find work and that might have entailed moving.
Agricultural workers were usually hired at a hiring fair for 6 months, re-hiring by the same farmer could not be relied upon.
Workers might hear that a different farmer was a better employer or they might discover that the parish they lived in was an ungenerous provider of welfare so it made sense to move, if they could.
If you have ancestors in Berwick or North Northumberland, they may well have lived or worked in Scotland, too, most probably in the Scottish Borders, with Berwickshire and Roxburghshire being the most likely counties.
Borders Family History Society have a special offer on most of the 1841, 1851, 1861 Census Transcription booklets they sell but extremely limited stocks at the special offer reduced prices.

Learn about the pre-1855 Parish Registers of the Roman Catholic Church
The talk takes place at the Corn Exchange and Ormiston Institute, Market Square, Melrose, TD6 9PN at 2.30pm on Sunday, 29th May. Map.
The talk will be preceded by Borders Family History Society's Annual General Meeting but that's usually over quickly.
I’m eagerly looking forward to this talk.
Donna is going to tell us about the Catholic registers for parishes that were founded before 1855, the six Scottish dioceses and the records of the Bishops Conference of Scotland and its agencies.
You may attend the talk and the AGM whether you are a member or not.
Doors open at 2pm; the AGM begins at 2.30pm.
Knowing how to find Catholic records is vital in family history, even if you think you have no Catholics in your family, you may be wrong, as I was, especially if you can’t find the birth of one or more your ancestors.
I suggest you go early to get a good seat.
They'll have a range of family history publications available to buy, and there’ll be light refreshments (donation expected) available after the talk.
If you have a problem with your family history, please discuss it (no charge) with one of their volunteers.
The talk was previously advertised for last October but did not take place then due to illness.

Dorothy Young of the Greenses, Berwick; Who Emigrated to Canada
From Margaret Dougherty, a descendant of the Youngs of the Greenses:
My grandmother, Dorothy Young (1889-1967), set out from Berwick-upon-Tweed on her own for Canada as an 18-year old girl looking for adventure in September 1908. Perhaps you see something familiar in her features in this photo of her when she was about 30.
Dorothy was the second eldest daughter of Robert Alexander Young (1854-1915) and Isabella Knox (1862-1937) of the Greenses. She originally went to Canada for a nanny position in small-town Ontario, but quickly grew bored with that, and for a time worked as a cook in a Northern Ontario lumber camp where she was the only woman, before settling in Montreal by 1911, where she worked as a servant. There, she was part of a circle of other Berwick immigrants, as I’ve found in news items in old issues of the Berwick Advertiser.
I have documented my grandmother’s lineage, which in addition to Young and Knox, includes Patterson/Pattison, Wedderburn/Weatherburn, Cowe, Clark, Melvin/Milvin, Edminson, Brack, Johnson, How and Spiers ancestors.
Dorothy returned to England in August 1915 to marry my grandfather, John Matheson, in London, while he was on a short leave from the Canadian Expeditionary Force.
They had met in Montreal, where John had emigrated in 1909 from Aviemore, Scotland. She remained in Berwick throughout the First World War, seeing my grandfather when he had leave. My mother, Isobel Young Matheson, was born in Berwick in May 1919. In August of that year, my grandmother and mother sailed for Montreal. Dorothy never returned to Berwick, but exchanged many letters with her mother and sisters.
I am still looking for any descendants of Dorothy’s siblings who stayed in England: Margaret Knox Young who married a distant cousin, George Young; Henry, Robert, William and Peter. Dorothy’s sisters Lizzie, Aggie and Izzie came to Canada as well, but Aggie and Izzie ultimately returned to Berwick, I believe.
After my mother died in 1979, we lost touch with her Berwick roots.
If you have any information about these, please add a comment below.

Are you a Riddell and Interested in Your Family Tree ?
A lady in New Zealand named Gail Riddell and an apparently unrelated Jim Riddell in America are joint administrators for the Riddell/Riddle/Ridley/Ruddell DNA project with an American based firm called FamilyTree DNA. .
Gail's family were mostly from the Roxburghshire area but were also in Berwickshire and Lanarkshire (not to mention all through the Lothian area), depending on the lands they purchased/versus where their money was "made". Jim's forebears were from Lanarkshire in the late 16th Century and are thought to have left at the time of the Covenanters.
Gail wrote "I have many men from New Zealand, Australia, USA, one from South Africa and a few from UK who have been excited by what they have learned as a result of testing their Y-Chromosome. They have worked hard in order to raise sufficient funds for me to be able to offer totally free, a number of Y-37 tests for any man living in Northumberland, the Scottish Borders, Yorkshire or lowland Scotland who has this surname and who has a family tree of his paternal ancestry back to around 1800 or earlier.
The bottom line is to extend and "prove" our genealogy in a way that paper trails have been unable. By that, I mean if we go back into history, especially the 1600s (as an example) and look at the deaths, followed by pestilence, followed by famines and we soon begin to realise that not everyone who bears a particular surname is actually of that stock. I say this because many young women with wee ones to feed were made widows and frequently joined up with a "protector" who thus gave his name to those
wee ones.
For those who are anxious about DNA testing - the medical genes are not considered in the test that I am offering as a "freebie". The test itself needs just two separate cheek swabs. "
If you're a Riddle (whatever the spelling), and you've got a family tree on the paternal side back to 1800, and you would be willing to take the test, please contact Gail at the email address below.
If you want help building your family tree, there are still a few family history surgeries available (booking essential) on our Berwick 900 Family History Day on Saturday 16th April 2016 at Berwick-upon-Tweed.

The Descendants of James Burgon and Joanna Richardson
From Jenny Burgon:
We really enjoyed the (Berwick's Maritime Connections) exhibition in July and were really sorry we were unable to return in October (for the Family History Festival).
We noticed that one of the Burgon tree branches stopped at James Burgon and Joanna Richardson.
Their second son, Alexander, is my husband’s grandfather and here is a list of his descendants.
I hope it fleshes out some of his offspring.
James Burgon (1856 – 1928) married Joanna Richardson (1854- 1894)
Children:
Peter (1879 - )
Alexander (1880-1947)
Alexander was born at home in Low Greens, the second son of James and Joanna Burgon. He joined the Navy and sailed home from China on HMS Rinaldo. He was based at HMS Pembroke, Chatham until his marriage at the Baptist Chapel, Castlegate, Berwick-upon-Tweed on 19 October 1905. He married Eliza Webb (1881 – 1962), the eldest daughter of a former soldier, Charles Webb (1844 – 1916) who had been posted to Berwick and married a widow, Eliza Fewell (née Scott) (1845 – 1932) in July 1879.
On his marriage, Alexander left the Navy and worked for the railway. He and Eliza had four children: James (1907 – 1949), Alexandrina (1910 – 1982), Charles (1911 – 1974) and Peter (1916 – 1975).
James worked in Glasgow, where he married Catherine Macmillan Guy. He volunteered for the services at the outbreak of the war but was declared unfit due to rheumatic fever as a child and joined Fairfields, the shipyards. He also joined the Home Guard and worked in Clydebank during the blitz. After the war he returned to Berwick. He died there in 1950 leaving his widow with two sons, Alec and David.
Alexandrina, always known as Rina, married John Buglass and had two daughters. Charles joined the Merchant Navy, married Nancy and had a daughter. Peter married Isa and also had a daughter, Wendy, who joined the WRENS. Both Charlie and Peter spent the war years in the Navy.
James’ son Alec married Valerie and has a son and three daughters, Robert, Catherine, Alexandra and Carolyn. All married and Robert has two daughters, Laura and Olivia Burgon. Alexandra has a daughter and 3 sons, the youngest are twins. Carolyn has a son. James’ son David married Jenny and has Graeme, Peter and Ruth. Both boys married and Graeme has two daughters, Rosalind and Hayley Burgon.
Rina’s two daughters, Sandra and Frances, married and had children. Charlie’s daughter, Patricia, married and had a son, Ben, and daughter, Nancy, who has two sons, Frank and Sidney and a daughter, Mabel.
Of Alexander’s 2 grandsons and 4 granddaughters, Alec worked as a marine draughtsman and Wendy joined the WRENs. Of his, at least 11 great grandchildren, two have worked as diving instructors but the marine connection is now very weak. He currently has at least 7 great great grandsons and 6 great great granddaughters. Sadly, the Berwick connection is also weakening. All but one of his surviving grandchildren are living in Scotland, one lives in Kent and one died in New Zealand.

More Medieval Laws (Statutes) of Berwick-upon-Tweed Guild
This follows on from James Evans article about the Statutae Gildae (Guild Laws); here are my translations of a few of the Guild laws.
Note that these laws are of the laws of the Berwick-upon-Tweed Guild; other guilds probably had similar laws but may have had other laws different to those of the Berwick guild.
In the first 2 examples below, each law is stated in medieval Latin, followed by medieval Scots, then comes my translation, for the third law, I could find only the Latin in a 19th century book..
Law 5 Of trespass by a brother of the Guild against another
Law 21 Of Burgesses being without a horse

Law 5 Of trespass by a brother of the Guild against another
40 pence was a huge fine, it would have bought 40 chickens or 30 gallons of ale.We have ordained that if any of our brothers trespass against another through slander, walking from the guild, or duelling in the guild, or coming to the guild, he shall pay 40 pence the first time, the second time, the third time.
Law
10 Of forfeits belonging to the Guild
light
If any urinate in the entrance of the guild or the wall of the guild, he shall pay 4 pence in compensation.
Law 21 Of Burgesses being without a horse
We ordain that any burgess having £10 in goods shall have in his stable a seemly horse worth at least £2. And if he be deprived of his horse by any chance, death, sale, gift, or in any other manner, he shall within 40 days provide another. If not, he shall be fined eight shillings to the Guild.

More Medieval Burgh Laws of Berwick-upon-Tweed
Saturday 23rd May was the date of the annual general meeting of The Court of Deans of Guild of Scotland and was held in Berwick this year as part of the Berwick 900 festival.
A Dean of Guild was originally the head of the Guild in a Scottish royal burgh but over the years the role developed into a burgh magistrate responsible for enforcing burgh law and resolving trade disputes; in the 19th century they became responsible for enforcing a burgh's building regulations; a process that’s now carried out by the Council.
The Court of Deans of Guild of Scotland incorporates the Guildry organisations of Aberdeen, Arbroath, Ayr, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Brechin, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Lanark, Perth and Stirling.
Nowadays, the Court’s role is both charitable and ceremonial. The Lord President of the Court of Deans of Guild of Scotland for 2014/2015 was Captain James Evans, who was Chairman of the Guild of Freeman of Berwick-upon-Tweed.
The Presidency rotates each year over the 11 localities. My tiny part in this year’s celebration was to translate some of the laws of the burghs and the Guild into modern English.
There's much more to learn about Leges Quattuor Burgorum (the Law of the Four Burghs) but here are my translations of a few of the laws. In the examples below, each law is stated in medieval Latin, followed by medieval Scots, then comes my translation.
Law 9 Of merchandise that arrives by ship
No strange (non-burgess) trader may buy wool, hides or other merchandise outside the burgh, unless it’s from a burgess.
Law 20 Of making of cloth and dyeing of wool
Law 36 Of annual rent of brewers

Law 20 Of making of cloth and dyeing of wool
Only a burgess shall buy wool to dye or make into clothes or to cut up.
Whosoever will brew throughout the year will pay the alderman 4 pence, and for half a year, 2 pence.

More about the Hattle Family
I separated this from the earlier post, Thousands of Miles by Taxi, a Trip by Thomas Hattle, who emigrated from Berwick to South Africa in 1901 so as to have one post about Thomas Hattle and his family.
From Alan Hattle:
The 1829 will of Thomas Hettle/Hattle (my great-great-great grandfather, of Windmill Hole in the Borough of Berwick), mentions a son, Jess, "who is at present in America". I have not established whether this Jess(e) stayed in America and/or had any children. I did have some data on another distant Hattle cousin who moved to Massachusetts in the 1800s, but my files were lost in a fire and I need to explore that line again. There were at least two other Hattles (one a female married to a Robertson) who made it to South Africa at some stage, but those are also lines I wish to explore more.
While most of my ancestors and their families remained in the Berwick/Berwickshire/Borders area, a few ventured further afield in Scotland.
A first cousin, 4 times removed (Thomas Hattle, born 1832, son of Young Hattle and Isabella Lyal(l)) emigrated to Canada, and there is a growing branch of the Hattle family in Ontario.
I would be thrilled to hear from locals in Berwick who have links to my family.
If you would like to contact Alan, please comment below with your email address (the email address won't be published).
