Few facts are known about John Keddie and his wife, JANET ANDISON, but some assumptions can be made.
John and Janet would probably have been born between 1775 and 1800, depending on how old they were when they got married, and whether James was their eldest or youngest son.
Their only identified son, JAMES, was born in 1820 in Berwickshire so, although John may not have originated from Berwickshire, he lived there around 1820.
John's occupation is shown as 'Farm Servant' on son James' death certificate so, like most people in the Border counties at that time, John was employed in agriculture.
