1. [EDB] Cameron [1]
I am interested in finding out any information about my Great Grandfather and his family. What I know is as follows: John Cameron moved from Cromdale aera of Scotland to Greenend, Liberton around the start the 1900's. He was shown on the 1901 cencus as a market gardener married to Annie Bird and they had 3 children (Peter, Lewis and Catherine). My Grandfather James Russell Cameron was born later (1912) in Leith I think. If anyone has any information about any of these people I'd love to hear from y

Mark - The 1912 Birth Indexes show James Russell CAMERON to have been born in South Leith, entry #1392.

5. [EDB] SCOTLAND STREET, Edinburgh [1]
On an 1878 will which I recently downloaded , an executor, James Turnbull , is said to be a printer, of 28 Scotland Street, Edinburgh. I have an idea where this is, but wonder if that would have been his home or business address. Anyone care to hazard a guess ? The only person of this name and occupation I can find on the 1881 census is in Corstorphine. Mary McLaren BC Canada

8. [EDB] Culross/Calross [1]
I am looking for families named Culross or Calross living in Edinburgh during the 1830-1880's. There are very few Culross/ Calross families anywhere, most in Fife Scotland. A search for that name or word finds mostly places in Scotland or Canada. Amanda Culross/Calross was born somewhere around 1835 in Edinburgh and emigrated to the US. I can find no trace of her in Scotland. The only Culross/Calross I can find in Edinburgh Census, during that time frame was Margaret Culross b October 1810 in Ta
9. [EDB] Morningside Cemetery - Intention to flatten some gravestones [1]
If you have relatives who are buried in Morningside Cemetery in Edinburgh, you may be interested in the following news. Edinburgh City Council is in the process of making their cemeteries "safer" by "laying flat" stones which they consider to be unsteady. So far, over a quarter of the stones which have been inspected in various cemeteries have been laid flat, either by pushing them over (resulting in the breaking of some stones), or by using special equipment. After *much* protest about the lack of consul

Wonder if any one knows if the fact an ancestor was a royalist soldier and fought for the Stewart who later became Charles II would indicate the area from whence he came. It is very difficult to obtain any information that far back in time. Perhaps this writing is all for naught. Chester... aeiou@inetw.net

> If you have relatives who are buried in Morningside Cemetery in > Edinburgh, you may be interested in the following news.< May I say a public Thank You to Forrest Anderson for bringing this to my/our attention. I have read the reports in The Scotsman, and allowing for journalist 'speak', it is a sorry tale, but one that will be repeated I'm sure. Last year I finally discovered my Scottish great grandparents grave in Burnley(!) I was lucky enough to be able to visit the cemetery and asked the local mas
13. [EDB] BROWN's from Leith [1]
Hello everyone, I would like to try and track down the children of my 2nd great grandparent's John BROWN and Jane STENHOUSE. John and Jane had at least 5 children, James Fotheringham Brown born 1866, Annie Brown born 1868, Jessie Dickson Brown born 1870, John Howie Brown (my grandfather) born 1872 and James Stenhouse Brown born 1874. All the children were born in Leith. I realise that the Brown surname is very common but if anyone has a connection to them it would be good to here from you. Regards Ron B

Dear group members I have a couple of items that have to be searched for in person in the Search Room at West Register House, Edinburgh (I have reference numbers). If there is anyone in Edinburgh who needs records research done in Perth, Western Australia, can we arrange an exchange? With thanks and regards Amanda Curtin Perth, Western Australia
17. Re: [EDB] Searching still... [1]
hi Chester, its surprising how much you can find out about people that far back if you have one or two clues. if the person was of the wealthier classes you have a head start. could you clarify the details of the person you are looking for? The term "Royalist" tends to imply someone fighting in the mid-17thc for Charles 1, father of Charles 2.

19. Re: [EDB] Culross/Calross [1]
Your searches are probably turning up references to Culross on the northern shore of the Firth of Forth. Its pronounced "queue-russ" and there is some historic property there - in the care of the National Trust for Scotland or Historic Scotland, not sure which. I think it was one of the Scottish Kings who referred to Fife as a "Beggars Mantle fringed with gold" because of the relatively wealthy trading communities on the coastline. Impossible to tell if any one individual came from Culross - the name cou

As an aside, I thought I would tell those of you with scots heritage out there of my 13 year old son, whom despite being a 6th generation Australian will proudly be attending the Scotland vs USA game in Brisbane in October in his Scots rugby jumper and our recently received the family tartan. He's never been to Scotland and does a truly terrible scots accent, but proudly boasts of his scots heritage. In fact in a cupboard full of Queensland, Australian, School & Club rugby jumpers, the only two that don't m
22. Re: [EDB] HUME/KERR [1]
Hi June, as it happens your possible relatives "married" at St Cuthberts about a week before mine. There is no certificate as such of course and in fact their presence in the register doesnt mean they necessarily married in the parish church as it includes those whose banns were called but (like mine) married somewhere else, often because they were not Church of Scotland. As it happens for this parish register at this date there is a beautiful index at the front of the book (grooms surname only!), which me
