Hi,

Would anyone know what a burg officer was in 1844? It seems an ancestor of mine assualted one in Hawick Scotland in 1844 and for the life of me I cannot find out what the description means.

Hi Kaye,
Try *Burgh officer* - One employed in an official capacity, often in the Customs or in local administration.
