Archibald HOBKIRK was the second son of Adam HOBKIRK & Jane (Jeany) SCOTT
Archibald HOBKIRK was born at Grange and christened on 24 January 1790 at Southdean, Roxburghshire.
Archibald HOBKIRK and Betty MILLAR were married on 26 January 1823 at Jedburgh, Scotland.
From the 1841 census we know this family was living at Todlaw, Jedburgh, Roxburghshire, Scotland and consisted of the following members:
Archibald HOBKIRK, age 50, a farmer
Betty HOBKIRK, age 45
Adam HOBKIRK, son, age 16
Christian HOBKIRK, daughter, age 15
Jean HOBKIRK, daughter, age 14
Mary HOBKIRK, daughter, age 11
Eliza HOBKIRK, daughter, age 9
Martha HOBKIRK, daughter, age 7
Since the first son and the second daughter were named after the father's parents, it is were likely that the first daughter is named after the mother's mother. Unfortunately there is not a second son for a clue as to Betty MILLAR's father's name.
Additional note: in the 1851 census there is a Martha HOBKIRK, 16, sister
in law of George MILLER and Jane MILLER, age 22. Jane is possibly
Jean.
Martha is listed as a dressmaker.
