1. Re: [SCT-EDINBURGH] Watson/Gray/Caddon & St James Church EDINBURGH [1]
Do you have any more details on David Caddon as I cant find him on the CWGC site. Year of death or regiment would help a lot. Sounds like she attended one of the Episcopalian churches, which would make sense if she was C of E originally. I dont think the Presbyterians do confirmation (could be wrong) as they dont have bishops to carry it out. I don't think catholics have 'rectors'.

Robert MELDRUM, journeyman wright, married Isabel RUSSELL, d.o. James, in College Kirk parish on 7 June, 1767. They consequently had son John b 7 May 1768. Would that have been a shipwright, or wheelwright? Any connections to the family? I cannot find any other children born to this couple. Linda

6. Re: [SCT-EDINBURGH] David YOUNG [1]
Hi Liz, I have a lot of YOUNGs (my grandfather's family) from in and around Edinburgh, Borders, and Fife. Among them is a David YOUNG, but not exactly from Edinburgh (rather, Haddington) and I do not know anything about his wife or children. Here is his lineage though, in case it is any help. Of course, I'd be glad to hear from you if by chance there is a match. John YOUNG (ca. 1842-1924) and Agnes SANDILANDS (ca. 1842-1927) -> David YOUNG b. ca. 1868 Direlton, Haddington.

8. [SCT-EDINBURGH] MITCHELL was Nisbet Challenge #1 Follow-up [1]
I am intrigued by this as I believe my 3g grandfather James MITCHELL lived in the same street at some point. I am just wondering how Irene found your John Nisbet's death as I have tried everything I can think of to find the death of James MITCHELL and wonder if there is an angle I have missed. One MI index to try by the way would be the Dean Cemetery which is fairly close and I think has an index of some sort. Although of course proximity is no real guide - you should also look near places wit

11. Re: [SCT-EDINBURGH] David Young & Alexis West [1]
Hi Liz, The good news is that their marriage, in Glasgow(!), is on Scotland's People. If you get that info., it should give you the names of their parents. I had a look for Janet in 1881 but she seems to have been born after the census, also apparently in Glasgow (see SP again), which was at the beginning of April (not that I found her parents either). I also had a look on IGI, and I see that all three daughters have surnames as middle names. These are very likely their grandmothers' & great-grandmothers'
12. [SCT-EDINBURGH] The DEWAR's and ROSS's [1]
In early September I shall be bringing 2 American Cousins to Edinburgh on a Genealogy Tour. Our interests are JOHN DEWAR and JANET ROSS, Married 1827 in Culross and lived most of their lives in Low Valleyfield. John was a local lad, son of JAMES DEWAR AND CATHERINE NICOL whilst Janet Ross came from Liberton, Midlothian, the daughter of DAVID ROSS and JANET STEVENSON I am particularly interested in MAY DEWAR daughter of John and Janet. She married BLAMIER TOPPING and they emigrated to Virginia about 1870.

14. [SCT-EDINBURGH] AM I ON THE RIGHT TRACE - ISABELLA RUTHERFORD [1]
After many years of research, I am still on the trail of my elusive great grandmother ISABELLA RUTHERFORD, born about 1846 Edinburgh or Paisley. I think I may have a break-through and would like the advice of people on the list to see if I am on the right track, at last. My husband and I have just returned from a few days in the Scottish Borders. He drove me to every village where there was an Isabella Rutherford living in 1861. I have now discounted these, as they were either still living there in 1871 (
15. Re: [SCT-EDINBURGH] 1816 Births, Edinburgh [1]
Hi Meg Thanks for posting these , even tho none of them is mine :-( About the abbreviations, I think OCP probably stands for Old Church Parish (written in full for the Anderson baptism on 23rd March). DO you think H S is actually M S (maiden surname?) I have done some transcribing of early records and the H and M could be quite confusing. Dorothy Have photocopied one page of OPRs for 1816, might as well post these so they are in the Archives. There is no other information in these handwritten ent
16. Re: [SCT-EDINBURGH] Two Nisbet Challenges-Edinburgh [1]
Well I think this may take a bit of unravelling. I only have the Ancestry index for 1841 and that shows an Alexander aged 5, not 5 months and another sibling aged 4. Obviously the original/image needs to be checked here but on the face of it this Alexander was born 1836. Age is more likely to be correct when shown at a young age in the birth family than in say a marriage record where he might either not know his exact age or want for some reason to adjust things a little. One thought is that
17. [SCT-EDINBURGH] Request EDINBURGH & LEITH P.O. DIRECTORY 1939-40 [1]
Sheena - delighted be able to ask about a HALCRO man who disappeared into the population of Edinburgh after he went from the Orkney Islands to the US, then to Edinburgh the 1920s. James HALCRO or HALCROW died 1948 in Morningside. Have absolutely no idea what he did while he lived in Edinburgh but he never married and the family pretty much forgot him. Am trying to correct that situation. Might he be in the directory ??? There should be a rare few HALCROs to wade through. Many thanks - Meg Greenwo

Hi listers, Please may I introduce myself and my genealogical interests to you, and ask a first question? I am researching my gt.grandfather James Speed who was a glass maker, living in the Greenside / Glenorchy area below Calton Hill for a few years around 1860. He later lived in England, and worked for the Japanese government near modern Tokyo where he helped birth western- style glassmaking in Japan at a time when Japan was just awakening to the world beyond its shores.
