3. [EDB] writer - occupation [1]
Hallo, I am new to the list. My great grandfather, James Burns Brown, has his occupation as writer on his 1859 marriage cert, at the age of 20. I looked this term up in a glossary and found it means lawyer or solicitor. Please can anyone tell me what training would have been required to be a writer. What sort of legal work would he have been able to do? Would his name be on any Edinburgh law list or similar? Christine

6. Re: [EDB] writer - occupation [1]
Christine All Writers to the Signet are solicitors and can put the letters WS after their names, but not all solicitors are Writers. "The original writers were clerks in the office of the Secretary, who kept the signet, which in time became the seal under which the various writs of diligence were issued: hence by late 16th century they were solicitors operating procedure before Court of Session." - Source - A Dictionary of Scottish History by Gordon Donaldson and Robert S Morpeth, published by John Donald
7. Re: [EDB] Oldendorff [1]
Hello John Many thanks for the detailed and valuable information you have managed to dig out! It proves at least one thing, and that is, my g.g.grandfather was prone to "bending" the truth. ;-)) I have his application for citizenship dated Nov.1850, which says he was a subject of Prussia, aged 46, the father of two sons, and had lived in London for 13 years! Yet on the 1851 census, he gives his age as 33? Just goes to show---you can't believe *everything* in the record books!! One more thing John. Was he th
8. Re: [EDB] Walker family [1]
thats 2 addresses in the lower reaches of Bruntsfield Place in the last few days. The buildings which match these numbers today are late Victorian tenements so I am wondering if anyone knows when the flats were built and if the street was renumbered. I suspect Colin Darby's ancestors and possibly these people lived in the larger houses which face Bruntsfield Links.

Hi! Does anyone on the list have access to 1814 trade directory please for Edinburgh / Leith area? I am looking for a Thomas Fletcher - rope and sail maker. Sometime between 1818 and 1820 Thomas moved his growing family to Wick, Caithness. I have not located him on any trade directories for Wick.

12. Re: [EDB] Walker family [1]
No. Greenhill was the name of a house, a nice big one, set in substantial grounds adjoining Bruntsfield Links. If you go to the NLS maps website ("nls maps" typed into Google gets it nicely), click on Maps of Scotland, then Geographic Area & go down to Town Plans, you can get the 1851 Lancefield one of Johnston's plan of Edin. & Leith. It is divided in two. You want the Left Side. Go to the Castle, which is the blob under the left hand end of the neat bit, click on it till it is big enough to read, then

14. [EDB] RAMSAY Edin. Water Co. [1]
The Edinburgh Water Company was instituted in 1819 and in 1854 its head office address was 123 Princes St.and Alex Ramsay was still manager. There were also 6 district offices including the one in Leith. (Info from Oliver & Boyds Almanac.) Alex Ramsay had the same post in 1864 but in 1869 there was an Edinburgh and District Waterworks Act. This seems to have set up a Trust to run things, and in 1874 Ramsay is not listed. But at least you can be fairly certain that he was around long enough to have a deat

20. [EDB] Can I claim to be a Scott? [1]
My GGG Grandfather was married in Edinburgh and is a Scott, from where I do not know as the records have stopped. He was an ADAM. I have no connection with Scotland, neither has any member of my family since 1848, when they moved south through Newcastle, the South Coast and the Midlands. I appreciate every body wants to be a Scot and will use there name as some sort of connection, however slim, to get a kilt when on holiday in Scotland. I want to know if I have any claim of being a Scot by blood line or hav

They supplied all types of hardware to retail stores in the outer reaches of Scotlan
22. [EDB] Bruntsfield Place villas [1]
Hello to everyone interested in these rather lovely houses from the early 19thC. These are the ones we think were renumbered when the flats further down were built. I noticed this evening that an upper flat in one of them is currently for sale via Brodies the solicitors. This will be a conversion so that the lower storey is entered by the front door and the upper level by a side entrance built later on - that would be a typical arrangement. Go to www.espc.co.uk There doesnt seem to be a PDF which is a sh
