Jun 1745 at Dykehead, Par. of Kirkandrews on Esk, CUL, ENG, not obvious in BTs for Nichol Forest 1746-1762 or Kirk Andrews on Esk, 1738-1745, which was accounted for when a baptism was found over the border in Canonbie!3,2,1 He was baptized on 16 Jun 1745 at Canonbie, DFS, SCT; entry reads: "Walter Turnbull and Betty Turnbull in the Parish of Kirkandrews had a lawful son bap.

     Walter Turnbull married to Betty Dixon/Dickson and Walter Turnbull of an age and place to be his son, and married to Mary Telford at Nichol Forest, CUL, ENG, cir. 1800 were possibly related but the gap between known children is a bit tight for him to really fit here, even if there has to be a relationship of some sort. The younger Walter lived Megs Mire, Nichol Forest, and descendants moved to Roxburghshire (Eckford, Kelso, Ancrum) with some becoming successful sawmillers.7
