red marks the area where these little parishes where within Berwickshire

Mapquest shows the place names that feature most prominently in the birth places and resting places of W1 and W2's generations Whitsome, home of William and Christian late 1820's to early 1830's W2 was born in Whitsome 1828 - son John was born in Whitsome 1830 - daughter Margaret was born in Whitsome 1833 10 years later, Margaret was buried in Swinton in 1843 - so we presume W1 and Christian were living in Swinton in mid-1840's When I look for names in the various online databases, I concentrate on Berwickshire, but I also check Roxburghshire to the west and East Lothian, to the north

Google Maps shows the places a bit more clearly

 

Google Maps showing the Satellite view seems to be mostly farming
