3. SGS meeting October 15th [1]
I will be travelling to Edinburgh for a week in October, arriving midday on the 15th. While preparing for my genealogical safari, I read that the Scottish Genealogical Society has their monthly meeting on Friday evening Oct. 15th, 7:30 p.m., at the National Library of Scotland, with a guest speaker presenting genealogical resources to be found there. As I had planned to join the SGS while in Edinburgh, especially so that I could use their reading room for Monumental Inscriptions while there, would

7. OPR Marriage info Lookup [1]
Hi My name is Robynne and I live in Toronto, CAnada. I am somewhat desperate here in asking if some kind soul could look up an OPR marriage record for me. The IGI does not give me enough information. I am looking for an OPR record of a Marriage dated 4 Feb 1856 at the Tolbooth Church in Edinburgh, between Thomas Fairbairn (aka Freebairn) born 20 aug 1827 in Fifeshire, and Elizabeth Simpson born (date unknown but possibly 1823 or 1827/28)), whereabouts unknown for sure but possibly South Ronaldsay, Orkney
8. Re: [EDB] Marriage Contract in Will [1]
I copied this out from the Register of the Society of Writers to Her Majesty's Signet (1983). Not sure if John Stevenson has already done this as I saw he had sent someone else some WS details, but here goes anyway. FERRIE, Thomas Brown [25 November 1824]. Apprentice to Robert Strachan. - Son of Alexander Ferrie, writer in Edinburgh. Married Jessie, daughter of John Dickson, mason, Edinburgh. Died February 1860, aged 58. I thought there might be some transcriptions of the Old Calton Burying Ground in th

I don't have the 1841 census, but I was lucky enough to find my FRASERs on the 1841 St. Cuthburts census at the Freecens site http://freecen.rootsweb.com/ Not all areas are yet transcribed, but I lucked out and found my FRASERs #2 Drummond Street, St. Cuthburts, Edinburgh Scotland!! ;-) What a break this turned out to be for me. They are constantly adding to it, so if you're not lucky this time, keep checking back. Happy Hunt

13. Helen Vair [1]
Hi Katherine, I don't know too much about Helen Vair. I know she married her first husband, James Turnbull, in 1783, and that the banns were read at Edinburgh Parish. Her father is listed as "Alexander Vair". She must have been born around 1763 and definitely before 1766, but I haven't found any matching record. I think I'm going to go search for other Vairs in the area born to an Alexander Vair father. That might provide clues. Anyway, Helen & James had at least three children, also baptised a
14. locating a "seaman" [1]
The 1860 NYC federal census shows CUNINGHAM SHEPHERD as a "seaman" born in Scotland. Is there any way of learning more about this man---when/where he was born, parents names, etc.? OPR 785.2/35 St. Cuthberts, Edinburgh, shows a birth 14 Apr 1833---"Cunningham SHEPPARD, Portmanteau Maker, No. 73 East Crosscauseway and Janet LOW his spouse had a Son born on the Fourteenth April Current Named Cunningham." On 15 Jan 1861, Cunningham Shepherd and Catherine Donnelly were married in NYC. These were my g
15. Quarryholes! [1]
Yes, John, on closer inspection it is indeed Quarryholes (not Marryholes)! Alexander Ferrie/Ferry died in 1808 and his will must have been written prior to 1802 as it does not mention by name his last child, Thomas Brown Ferrie, who was born 1801-1802. I was confused because the "Qu" looked a lot like an "M" (with a rather elaborate upstroke) in handwriting from another will I had been reading. But here it is definitely distinct from other capital "M's". There are no other "Q's" in the will so I
16. Roll Call COLLINS MCINTOSH [1]
I have a Thomas COLLINS, tailor who married Rosina MCINTOSH in 1868 in South Shields. Thomas was from Colnaugton CLK . There appears to be a son, Thomas, born 1861 at Stirling according to the 1871 census 11 Pleasance St. Edinburgh, plus Ellen 1866 and Barbara 1869 both born Edinburgh. I have been unable to find a birth for Thomas father or son. Would also be interested in any entry on a trade index. Rosina's brother Archibald used the name "Collins" as a second name for one of his sons and it has continu
17. WHYTOCK & REID Re: [EDB] Whytock [1]
WHYTOCK & REID Hope "Ken" in USA catches this. Apparently WHYTOCK & REID went into liquidation last July. The remaining items from the business are to be sold at auction next week, including the Royal Warrant obtained in 1838. The sale will be held by auctioneers Lyon & Turnbull, and there will be furniture, cloth etc. No mention of written archives in the article, published in today's Herald & Post free newspaper. "The company was established in 1807 by Richard WHYTOCK who then joined forces with John
18. Robert BONE [1]
Hello Listers I have an ancestor Henrietta BONE who said on 4 censuses and at her Marriage that she was born in Edinburgh circa 1814. She was married in December 1836 in Canongate when she said her father Robert BONE a Clerk late of High Street was deceased. There is no OPR IGI Baptism entry for Henrietta and I was unable to find her in the Canongate Records film at the LDS. There is a Robert BONE in the Edinburgh Apprenticeship Records. He was the son of John a Leadwasher of Leadhills, Lanark and Ro

23. Academy for Young Ladies [1]
Hello everyone, I am researching a West Australian woman who went to what she described as 'a huge Academy for Young Ladies' in Queen Street', Edinburgh in around 1885. She said that the school was 'large and prosperous with classes of a hundred pupils each'. Can this be possible? She says it was run by a 'Dr Pride'. Does anyone know which school she must be referring to - and where their records may be located? Many thanks, Barbara Kearns Perth, Western Australia
