Buglass map of ancestors
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

My late brother, Keith Herbertson researched our mother’s side of the family – the redoubtable Buglass, because we were getting into some family<\/a> issues and needed a specialized lawyer. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to get these images to go into the correct order. (advice welcome) but to read them in order they are numbered.<\/p>\n

Keith outlines the method used to trace records in 1990\u00a0 but, perhaps of more human interest, we find that a great uncle fought in the Boer war with the Royal Scots Regiment* and another solid ancestor of a possibly more disreputable nature was a spirit dealer who essentially ran a pub on Elm Row. In 1990 this was called The Elm Bar but is now known as the Jeremiah’s Tap Room.<\/p>\n

For those whose eyes are failing, or who haven’t worked out how to use zoom, the direct male line of descent went to my mother so:<\/p>\n

Peter Buglass (c1820) (Northfield Parish near Coldingham)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

John Buglass (c. 1851)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Frederic Towers Buglass (b. 22.18.1900)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Margaret Sandilands Buglass<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

*Gary Tait, a friend and expert in matters to do with the Royal Scots, passed on this piece of research: <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Royal<\/a><\/p>\n

On the 7<\/span>th <\/span>Feb, 1900, A and B Companies, <\/span>1st Battalion Royal Scots<\/span>, together with about 200 locally recruited troops, were attacked by a detachment of Boer’s at Bird River. They drove the Boer’s back losing several men. A 19 year old drummer, Davies, won the DCM. If\u00a0 my great uncle got home in time to write a letter that evening he <\/span>was quite likely to have been there.<\/span><\/p>\n
