Can anyone assist me I am from South Africa and am trying to trace my gggggrandfathers parents. In doing this familysearch gave me two possibilities saying the one was born in Roxburgh, Roxburgh. The other in Kelso, Roxburgh. What I want to know is, is Kelso and Roxburgh the same place, I had a look at a map and it shows Kelso separate from Roxburgh, is this true.

Hopefully this site will answer your question:
Kelso Scotland, Scottish Borders UK
Also counties often used to be referred to by the name of the county town so the county of Roxburghshire would often be referred to as Roxburgh. I think I asked on your other thread but don't remember seeing a reply - how sure are you that your ancestor came from Roxburgh(shire)? Do you know where the original information saying he was from there came from?KiteRunner

The only William I can see born Roxburgh in that time frame is this one, William Muir born 15th Sept 1798 to William Muir and Margaret Mason. I see from a submitted entry on familysearch that his father was also William.
