Am looking for help with WILLIAM CALDWELL who m SARAH McQUADE. Their
daughter ELIZA JANE CALDWELL was b about 1835 in Ireland; d 14 Jun, 1887 in
Hawick. She married JAMES FINLAY, a woolen weaver, who was also b Ireland
in 1833; d at Melrose 29 Aug. 1897. In the 1881 census JAMES FINLAY, age
46, and wife ELIZA, age 45, were living at 39 High Street, Hawick with their
children: ROBERT age 20 (assistant in yarn store), THOMAS (my grandfather
THOMAS CALDWELL FINLAY) age 20, JAMES age 19 (apprentice house painter),
SAMUEL age 17 (apprentice tailor), DAVID age 14 (scholar), and ELIZA age 11
(scholar). There was also a boarder, JOHN CALDWELL, age 41 b Galashiels,
occupation tailor (SAMUEL probably worked for him). Is this boarder ELIZA
JANE's younger brother, and did WILLIAM and SARAH CALDWELL have other
children?? If anyone has any knowledge about this family, I would
appreciate it.
