Looking for any Fiskens ( or who knows of them) in Cocksburnpath                                          Date Posted:26/03/2006

I am taking a chance someone might know of this family. I have some old letters from the 1950s of an Annabella Fisken who wrote to my father in Canada. She would be related to the Lumsdens. I have two addresses (old ones). One was at Redhaugh, Cockburnspath and the other at Moorhouse ,Coldingham, Berwickshire. (last address known as of 1961) She may have had a sister or daughter Isobel who worked in a hospital Would appreciate any info as we are related to this family. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Mr. Lee Hunter

Thank you so much for the info. I have been in contact with some people in the area through this site and another site I have found. The names you mentioned connect. Please feel free to contact me directly at my email grebe@telus.net Any info you have would be great. The last letter I have from Anabelle was in 1961 so I am hoping for more info. I have actually phoned a couple called the Grays who remembered the Fiskens. There is also a man mentioned whose father knew the Fiskens. His name is Steele. Fell free to contact me. Sincerely, Lee Hunter ps/ Would anyone know an old address for the Fiskens when they moved to Lanarkshire.
