I have got as far as I can by using Ancestry and Scotlandspeople and now have multiple individuals all born around the same time (1700 to 1780) with the same names (first and second), within the Parish of Canonbie, DFS. It occurs to me that I might be able to sort out who belongs to which family by looking at the Poll Books for DFS, assuming they are available.
My question is: has anyone else had experience of using these sources and if so how do I get hold of them - Mitchell, Register House, DFHS? Unfortunately I live abroad so can't visit personally.
Thanks for any assistance or recommendations.
