1. [EDB] 1851 Census for Greater Edinburgh? [1]
Hello Listers, I'd be very grateful for your help. Would you know if I need to specify a precise area of Greater Edinburgh in order to look up the 1851 Census? My problem is that I believe the family (listed below) was living in the North Leith area, but I'm not sure exactly where. They may have lived in Bonnington, or Cockpen, or North Leith (judging from where some of the children were baptised). Do you think that I need to know the exact place in order to look up the family? The family is: John T.
2. [EDB] Edinburgh burial 1947. [1]
I'm hoping that there is SKS on the list who would be able to offer some advice and/or help on a problem that has been bugging me since the beginning of the year. I am trying to locate the burial place of one William THOMAS, who died 13th. March 1947, aged 74. He was born at Northop in Flintshire, North Wales in 1872. He lived and worked at Bangor, Caernarfonshire for most of his life, and died in hospital at Caernarfon. I have searched all the churchyards/cemeteries in the places he had family connections

5. Re: [EDB] Wm YOUNG shoemaker & Janet MACPHERSON 1815 [1]
Hi Roger, Last year at FHC I copied some marriages in Edinburgh that took place August 19, 1770. One was: "William Young Shoemaker in New Gray friars kirk parish and Eliz. Bowman? Daughter to John Bowman? weaver in North Leith now in Tolbooth Kirk parish" I don't know if it is any connection to your William, but there is alway hope. I also have William Youngs in my ancestry. Wm. Young, b. 1789 in North Leith, m. Elizabeth Ferguson in 1819 Wm. Young, b. in North Leith, m. Catherine Anderson in 1786 Mar
6. [EDB] PO Directory lookup, THOMSON, 1814-1824 [1]
Does anyone have access to an Edinburgh Post Office Directory for any of the years 1814 to 1824 please? I am researching an Alexander THOMSON, carver and gilder of Edinburgh. Obviously this is a very common name. By using the keywords "carver" or "gilder" to search the directory listings in Ancestry.com, I have found records of an Alexander THOMSON at 79 High Street Edinburgh for each of the years from 1814-1824, but the listings do not quote his occupation. The fact that the keyword search is so
7. Re: [EDB] Where is Bonnington, Edinburgh? [1]
Sheena The 1851 Census record for your Frasers will clear up any confusion about which Bonnington is involved. The tiny hamlet of Bonnington near Ratho isn't on or near the Water of Leith. Most people in Edinburgh won't have heard of it. There are just a few buildings there. Bonnington on the Water of Leith between Edinburgh and Leith is very much bigger and better known and has been a focus for trade for centuries.

12. [EDB] WATT - HELP! I'M DESPERATE! [1]
For more than 20 years, my father (and now I) have been trying to trace our Watt ancestors in Edinburgh in the period 1770 - 1835. After many pounds invested in research fees that have told us of many places that have no record of the family, I am desperately seeking some guidance. Our family bible tells us that James Haldane WATT was the son of John WATT and Ann HUNTER and that in 1799 he was the first child baptised by James HALDANE, recently ordained pastor of the First Congregational Church in Scotland

14. Re: [EDB] ANDERSON [1]
Many people can't remember where they were born. Or someone else gives the info and makes assumptions or makes a mistake. So don't discount the family story entirely, but also think laterally - it may be true about your grandfather, or it may be true, but about someone else eg HIS father or an uncle.

17. [EDB] Wm YOUNG shoemaker & Janet MACPHERSON 1815 [1]
I'm looking for my ancestors William YOUNG and Janet MACPHERSON. They are the parents listed on the death certificate of my gggGrandfather John YOUNG, born in Edinburgh in 1815. William's occupation is given as boot & shoe manufacturer. As a lad, John YOUNG helped in an uncle's shop in Galashiels, but whether this was a YOUNG or MACPHERSON uncle by blood or marriage is not clear. John's life as a gas engineer took him to Selkirk and Dalkeith, and later further afield. But his Edinburgh origins remain a
18. Re: [EDB] 1851 Census for Greater Edinburgh? [1]
Hi Sybil, I'm pretty sure Bonnington would come under the umbrella of North Leith, but Cockpen is way out of town to the south of Edinburgh. As the later children were born/christerned in North Leith I would look there first on the 1851 Census. Good luck.

I think I have found my elusive great grandfather, William Johnson ANDERSON. A while ago I requested a look up of his birth at Edinburgh. I have since searched the 1901 census for Sunderland & found him living at 4 Parade, Sunderland. (Address given on marriage cert in 1905) My mother always believed he was born in Edinburgh & moved to Sunderland aged 4. This must be a family myth! According to the 1901 census, he was born in Ryhope, Co Durham! Many thanks to all those people who are searching the in

21. Re: [EDB] Where is Bonnington, Edinburgh? [1]
Hi Sybil, For your purposes, Bonnington means your first suggestion. In earlier times it came under North Leith for bmd's etc.; latterly it was Edinburgh St Andrew's.

23. [EDB] Stockbridge Enumeration District for 1851 [1]
Hi Listers: I'm new to this site and would like to ask a question already. If I was to order in a film from my local FHC of LDS of the 1851 Scottish Census for Edinburgh what film would cover the Stockbridge area ? In other words, what Enumeration District is Stockbridge in ? I am looking for Robert Niven, his wife Agnes Niven ( nee Reekie) and children Isabella, John, Robert, and possibly others. If anyone already has this information and would share it, I would be so very grateful. Cheers from Canada,
