Biography

Jessie Geggie was born around 1816 to Robert Geggie and Agnes Sleigh. There are varying spellings of the name Geggie over the years some variants include, Geggy, Gegie, Gaggy, Gagie. The most common spelling of the name is Geggie however.

Jessie married an Andrew Logan although I have been unable to find a record of their marriage.

Jessie and Andrew went on to have 9 children together:

1. George Logan b. 1834

9. Ellen Logan b. 1854

In the 1841 Census Jessie (25) is living with her husband Andrew (25), her sister Isabella Geggie and 3 of their children. Jessie is likely to have been pregnant with Daniel at the time of this census. The family are living in Earlston.^[1]

By the 1851 Census the family have moved to Hoselawbank, Linton, Roxburghshire. Jessie is said to be aged 27 while Andrew is 38 in this census record. They are residing with 7 the eldest 7 of their children. Again it is possible that Jessie was pregnant this time with William at the time the census was held.^[2]
