Hi there all !



I am researching the DICK family, millers (and grocers) of CROFTAMIE

(WATER) MILL near Croftamie / Drymen.



Can anyone tell me ( or speculate ) why this family should get a mention

in a Trade Directory entry of 1900 (Slater's) for CARLUKE [ South

Lanarkshire ] under the 'Millers' category ?



I was working on the Dick family of CARLUKE - [ High Mill, Grain Millers

and Millwrights / Engineers from 1797 ] when this entry popped up !



At first, I thought they might have something to do with DICK's BUSES [

operated as S.M.T. from post WW1 to 1940's - operated by R.B. Dick (Co.

Manager) from garages in Carluke / Glasgow and elsewhere, but the I.G.I

shows ...



JOHN DICK marrying ELIZABETH JAMESON on 14 / 12/ 1822, in Kilmaronock

Parish

Their Son :- JAMES DICK marrying HELEN NEILSON on 16/11/1866 in

Kilmaronock parish

and JOHN DICK (son of James and Helen) born 13/10/1868



The Directory listed JAMES among the CARLUKE MILLERS as :-



James DICK, (Grain Millers), Drymen Station



At this time, a Tenant [ Thomas Rogerson] was operating the High MIll,

Carluke, for the Dick family of Carluke.



Any help / notes / family connections of this family and Carluke would

be appreciated.
