TELFER, RIDDELL, from Keppel and Leith... Late 1800's
by
I am trying to connect some pieces of my genealogical puzzle. I have a few old letters written by ancestors and there are references made of friends and neighbors in the areas of Keppel and Leith. I am searching for info on Telfers and Riddells who originated in the Hawick area of Scotland and came to Canada in the mid 1800's, some of whom settled in Grey Co. Some of the references made in my letters are of: Gedion Harkness; Betsy and Robina Easton (who had a dress maker's shop in Leith until 1890); John or Jack Riddell; Edith Riddell. Any info regarding the above would be appreciated. Thanks, Jerry
