1. [EDB] Gentleman's Servant: 1790, Edinburgh [1]

I have an ancestor buried there (Helen [HUTTON] BLACKIE, d. 1857, see below) and am curious about whether there is (still) a stone, and if so, I'd like to find a way to get a photo. I am also generally looking for any connections, or clues on where to look for additional records on this family: Robert SPEARS (b. 1819 Midlothian) m. Elizabeth BLACKIE (b. 1815 Clints Channelkirk Berwickshire); Robert & Elizabeth m. 3 Apr 1838, recorded in St.
13. [EDB] Another emigration puzzle [1]
Hi all, I am wondering whether any members of the list have come across mention of a ship called the Mary Maria on which members of my family travelled to the US. We have a sort of idea of what happened when this young couple reached the States but no idea where they came from other than that they were from Scotland. Where in Scotland they were from is what we want to find out! The Mary Maria was checked into New York from Liverpool on 23 Jan 1834 carrying passengers from Scotland as well as others

I have found a missing family member but no mention of his regiment, can anyone help please. Piershill was a cavalry barracks, so that restricts the possibilities a bit.

17. [EDB] COCKBURN/SYMINGTON/BRIDGES of Crichton [1]
I have an Alexander Cockburn b 1823 marrying Mary SYMINGTON b 1821 in 1847 in Crichton. I have found them in the1871 census and wonder if anyone has access to earlier census records or the parish records for Crichton and could do a look-up for me. I ordered the 1861 film from the LDS library but the Crichton section was virtually unreadable. I would be interested in knowing who else was living with them as they had a nephew Robert YOUNG with them in 1871 but I can not attribute them with any chi

24. [EDB] David Thomson [1]
My great grandfather, David Thomson, was born in Leith in 1821/2. His father was James Thomson. I can only find one David Thomson fitting these facts and born in Leith on 6 May 1821. He was the son of James Thomson and Jane Grieson who were married 27 May 1816 in South Leith. Jane Grierson doesn't fit other data that I have found, but I'm ready to discard this data which names Isabella Syme as the mother. Can anyone provide me with more information on these persons to allow me to arrive at some concl
