Hello!

I recently merged a profie from my tree with this

Robert Scott of Sandyknowe

Robert Scott of Sandyknow

however, certain details of one of his children (Jean Chisholme, born Scott) did not carry over. I have sources for the marriage between Jean Scott and William Chisholme and a christening source for one of their children (Robert Chisholm), but this information is missing. I wrote to the profile managers on 3/17/2022 but received no reply. Since the absence of this marriage and its progeny breaks all sorts of lines in my tree, I would rather undo the merge for the moment and restore my tree to its status quo ante. Would you be kind enough to do that for me please?

Jean Scott of Sandyknowe married William Chisholme in St Boswells, Roxburghshire, on 25 June 1756 when she was 19 years old.

Jean Scott of Sandyknowe subsequently married Walter Scott 5th Laird of Raeburn in Roxburghshire on 6 July 1773 when she was 36 years old. They had 6 children together.

Many thanks. I don't really know how else to fix this.

Hi Matthew Horton -

I fixed it by re adding her. Please check.

Jean Scott

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Thank you Erica! That does seem to have returned things to normal. Is it possible to add Jean Scott's second marriage and children as well - just for accuracy?

Jean Scott of Sandyknowe subsequently married Walter Scott 5th Laird of Raeburn in Roxburghshire on 6 July 1773 when she was 36 years old. They had 6 children together.

At the moment the marriage and children are listed under Janet Scott (1733)

Janet Scott should be: Janet Russell (born Scott)
Birth May 17 1733, Sandyknowe, Smailholm, Roxburough, Scotland
Christening May 17 1733
Death Dec 23 1805 Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotland.

Many thanks

Matthew Horton - go ahead and add his profile.

My understanding is that women in Scotland retained their maiden names, so don’t assume she changed it.
