Duns/Chirnside/Hampstead

Love to hear from researchers/descendants of  the following families:

• James & Jean (TROTTER) SINTON of Duns, Berwickshire (1784-1797 at least),
• Thomas and Elizabeth (CURRY) SINTON of Sunup, Lauder, Berwickshire (1782-1797 at least),

and the following London SINTON siblings born Scotland:

• George Hay & Mary (JOHNSTON) SINTON - Hampstead nurserymen/seedsmen 
• William & Elizabeth Mary (MONTAGUE) SINTON - Hampstead gardener
• Thomas & Agnes (WAIT)/Lily (WIGHT)/and possibly Janet (BLACKET) SINTON - carpenter of Chirnside (1810-1833ish), then Eltham (Kent) & St Pancras

Keep an eye on the DNA Project Patriarchs page as all of the above have had/are having significant updates to the original tree provided.
None are as yet represented in the SINTON Surname DNA Project - can YOU remedy that?

Edinburgh SINTONs

A new outline pedigree has been added to the Patriarchs page - that of the mason James SINTON & Helen TELFER
Should there be any direct male line SINTONs out there wishing to explore their releationship to other SINTONs, now would be a good time to join the SINTON DNA project - see below for the current discount offer.

WFN Updates - Lineage 1a

Made a few updates to the SINTON DNA Project pages, including:
- correcting the pedigree shown for patriarch William (I'd missed out son John, which connected one line up to the wrong son of William and Isabella).
- assigning William and Isabella to Lineage 1a

Also added William to the Wanted! list to reinforce that although we do indeed have a representative of William and Isabella (SCOTT) SINTON's line, it would be good to see where the discrepancies with the Southdean line crept in, before or after William.

Nov 15, 2008: Patriarchs updated

Check out the Patriarchs page for revised descendancy charts that reflect my recent excavations of the Southdean records, old correspondence etc, prompted by the 12/12 match between Stephen (S-3) and both Peter and Lester.

Also included the Irish pedigree of the newest recruit to the project, Bob.

Wish google would hurry up and review the status of this blog and remove the Spam warning!
I requested the review several days ago now, and we're about 5 days over their promised 2-3 days to review.

3rd kit ordered - Southdean connection

Another SINTON has joined the project - a descendant of John SINTON of Southdean (married Alison HALL).
Pedigree added to the patriarchs page

May 29, 2008: Duns SINTON line pedigree added

Patriarchs page updated to include a line of SINTONS from Duns:
John SYNTON/Janet SCOTT of Ashkirk
William SINTON/Isabel DUNLOP of; Edinburgh
John SINTON/Ann THOMSON of Partick
James SINTON/Augusta McNAUGHTON of Kent
Thomas SINTON/Lily WIGHT
and assorted other places.
Representatives of this line would be most welcome to expand our knowledge of the SINTON DNA.

New pedigree added

Added pedigree for the family of William (married Isabella SCOTT) in the hope it may attract a descendant to participate.
William and Isabella were mainly Jedburgh based, with a large number of descendants in New Zealand.
