    Thank you very much for sending me notice of this gravestone photo on your blog. I am still using my copies of your 1851 Census transcriptions as valuable references for the Border shires, and will bookmark your blog.
    Walter Taylor was an older brother of my gr-gr-grandmother Margaret, who came to Ontario, Canada in 1853 with her husband John Paterson and four children.

      Hi Katherine,

      I'm so pleased the photo will be of use to somebody. We have just opened a new Flickr account (http://www.flickr.com/photos/maxwellancestry). I only have one photo up so far but plan to add loads more.

      Emma
