The address 9 Fore Row is the grocer & spirit shop that John Ker's father Gideon Ker owned. Gideon died in 1843, leaving the store to his wife Ann.
John went to the Jedburgh Grammar School which is now a restaurant called "The Carters' Rest".
Most of the names John mentions are his cousins through his Uncle Robert Story who is the brother of his mother Ann Story. Mrs Nisbet is Agnes Story and his closet cousin seems to be Robert Story who died in Edinburgh in 1901.
