Other Life Events
Biography | Biography appears on from Rulewater and its People by George Tancred. George Turnbull was born at Hillshaugh in 1783. He married Margaret Scott, and became, like his grandfather, a carrier or travelling merchant, selling his goods throughout the district, and frequently acting as the disseminator of news when newspapers were few and costly. They had issue :— James, baptized 1805 at Kirknow. Thomas, baptized 1806 at Unthank ; and another child not named.
Margaret Scott died 15th August 1860, and Mr. Turnbull followed her to the grave in 1861, and both are interred in Ettledon old burial-place, parish of Newcastleton. In middle life they removed to the village of Newcastleton, and this accounts for their place of sepulture.

Note | George Turnbull from Heather Reid. Recently, using my DNA matches, I have found links to people who go back to a common Turnbull ancestor, ie, James Turnbull (# 25022)
The children of James and Betty that my matches connect through are - Alexander, Thomas, John and George (# 25022). Closer matches link through George's son Thomas.
Using all this information, my theory is that William (# 3907) was the son of George Turnbull and Margaret Scott. I have found a baptism record on Scottish People for William son of George and Margaret at Hobkirk, Roxburghshire, Scotland. There is also circumstantial evidence for the brother theory also, both men settled in Campbell Town, Tasmania in the early 1830's and their children were baptised at the same church (Kirkland's Presbyterian Church) * But the DNA matches definitely link me back to James Turnbull and his wife Betty Adamson. Their children were all born in the Hobkirk area. Therefore William is connected into this family some how.
