Thank for your reply. All I know is what my mother told me about her family. Her name was Christina Pollock, born in Morningside to Elizabeth Pollock (unmarried). Her Grandfather was John Pollock who had a fruit and veg' shop(horse & cart. Her Grandmother was Elizabeth who died just after her youngest was born. John was left with a young family to bring up. They were Elizabeth, margaret, John and Jenny. Jenny died from dropsy at a young age. He married a woman from the Highland region and when my mother was born (November 1992) she cared for her. I believe my Great Grandfather had brothers living in Morningside but I don't know the names. I'm still digging and I'll let you know if I find anything about Alexander.
p.s. I know there are Pollocks still living in Shotts, Lanarkshire but I don't know where.
