My Sword ancestors were born in Ettrick. An Ettrick Hall is mentioned and Hope House in Yarrow. Has anyone heard of these places. ??
James Sword (1752-1834) married Mary Riddel in 1781 at Sellkirk. Their 4 children, Walter, William, Jean and William(2) all born at Ettrick. James and Mary died at Hope House, Yarrow, Sellkirk.
Mary Riddel, daughter of William Riddel and Elizabeth Bruce.
Christian Bryden (c1790-1869) daughter of Walter Bryden and Margaret Greives. Married William Sword. All from Sellkirk as well. Can anyone help with more information ??
