Surnames: Dobson, Easton, Scott, Turnbull, Ranken
I'm trying to find more information on my Dobson family. My first relative to move slightly away from Selkirkshire was William Turnbull Dobson, birth 22/2/1830 in Melrose, Roxburghshire, Scotland. He married Isabella Ranken though I have no date for this. William was a printer's reader and also had some books published. Their children were:

Grace Reid Turnbull Dobson 1858 –
Frances Euphemia Turnbull Dobson 1860 – 1928
John Rankin Dobson 1863 –
William Dobson 1866 –
Isabella Roseline Dobson 1869 –
Jane Andrew Dobson 1871 –

William's parents were Francis Dobson, birth 12/07/1792 in Selkirk, Selkirk, Scotland, and Euphemia Turnbull. I don't have a marriage for them. Their children were:

Euphemia Dobson 1826 –
George Dobson 1826 –
Walter Dobson 1827 –
William Turnbull Dobson 1830 – 1908
Isabella Dobson 1834 –
Francis Dobson 1839 –
James Dobson 1841 –

Francis's parents were George Dobson, birth 21/6/1771 in Selkirk, Selkirkshire, Scotland, and Christy/Christian Scott. They married on 24th Dec 1788 in Selkirk. Their children were:

Francis Dobson 1789 – 1792
Francis Dobson 1792 – 1870
John Dobson 1794 –
Isabel Dobson 1800 –

George's parents were William Dobson and Isobel Easton who married 12 Nov 1768 in Selkirk. Their children were:

George Dobson 1771 –
Rachel Dobson 1775 –
William Dobson 1785 – 1834

This is where I hit a wall. I have no information further on William or Isobel. If anyone has any more information, I would be grateful.
