Lasswade among my "artifacts". Does anyone know whether it still stands? My
grandmother and her oldest brother were born there, and I have a photo of my

Williamina LOCKIE possible married name HENDERSON was still alive in 1955.
She is mentioned in a document,& I have the address, in Edinburgh.
I believe that she was related to William LOCKIE Police sergeant from Berwick, who retired to, & died in Edinburgh 1959. Was she a daughter, or neice ?
Do these names sound familar to any researchers.

Hi Listers,
My g g grandfather James Reid died a pauper aged 71 in the combination poorhouse Inveresk 15 Jan1869.Does anyone have any information on this place? Would his wife Mary have been with him as seems to be implied by the name? Whereabouts was it actually and is any information available on a website for instance? I would appreciate any bit of information you may have as I don`t know anything at all at the moment.
Thanks,
Bill Wood

This is not a virus....do not delete this file! This message is a virus hoax that has been passed around quite regularly.
Please any of you, before posting virus messages post them to the list owner and then we will be able to carry on with our genealogy on the list. Or, better still, check out http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html to check whether any virus is actually a threat or not.

Hi Greg, I can not see any direct connectiion so far. I have David Law
married to Susan Cooper and children Willian b 1803, Francis b 1805 and
Archibald b 1813. There could have been others not listed, I have seen
this before. Do you know John Law's parents?

I tried you direct but had it returned.
Jean BLAIKIE and Theophile Tancrede THEVENEAU were parents of
Isadore Emilien THEVENEAU.
I cannot find the family on the 1881 census. Can SKS look on the 1872 census
for me?
I have come to an absolute dead end so I would be eternally grateful for a
clue

Hello Kay
Did you get the info & suggestions I sent you about Hill Burton?
Some of his correspondence is in the National Library of Scotland. There
seems to have been a major acquisition in the late 80s.
I suggest you email the manuscripts division
mss@nls.uk
to ask if any of the papers refer to his personal affairs, such as the
management of his house.
It seems Craig House became part of the Royal Edinburgh Hospital and is now
destined to be a new campus for Napier University.

Hi Listers!
I'm hoping one of you can help me with the following two occupations:
1. Coriar
2. Douker or dooker
I think coriar has something to do with a black dye, but not sure and there
seems to be several meanings of douk or dook.
Any help greatly appreciated.

A Safe Find!
A few weeks ago I discovered an old safe in the basement of Duddingston
Manse. It was large and very difficult to move. It was also in the way! The
problem was that it was locked and there was no key. I asked around but no
one seemed to have clue what might be inside. So, we employed a safe cracker
to open the door. Inside was a treasure trove of old documents and church
memorabilia. From the items that were dated we worked out that the safe

Just a quickie...
Would anyone be so kind as to refer me to the new site for the following
old URL where one can find the batch file references. I have lost all my
book marks and found this old one squirreled away. But it is dead.

one of its products.

Hi, my first posting north of the border.
I am trying to find how I can to make contact with the Scottish Society of
Anaesthetists.
My grandfather, John Herbert GIBBS, was an early member and President in
1923. I would guess the Society would still exist and would be based in
Edinburgh.
Any help greatly appreciated.
