> Hi, new to the list. Looking for information on a Robert
WYLLIE(WYLIE)family. Wife, Mary WILSON. Have found the birth of a son
John, born 29 Mar 1814 at Portobello, and a daughter, Jane Mercer born 5 Jan
1817. Know there is another daughter, Agnes (my gggrandmother), but have
not found her birth record.

of houses, families & their occupations, with the # of persons within the
parish as of 28 May 1821, Portobello, including the potteries. Also a
second list giving approximate ages of the inhabitants. This is Duddingston
(Parish 684). the ref. # given NAS ref. Ch2/125-9.

would be very grateful if you could see if this WYLLIE family is listed.
