Dee I asked a similar question a year or so ago, in relation to my g.g. grandfather, Peter TAYLOR, who was described as a quarryman when he died in Rothesay in 1861. The consensus, as I recall it, was that there were several quarries where he might have worked but that there was no way of pinning down one in particular. Would be interested to know if you hear differently.

My GGGF Andrew WILSON reportedly moved to Rothesay from Greenock in 1888 to buy a quarry, although I think it may have been a family thing with the MCDOUGALL in-laws. > >Dee Schaffer >Salem, OR > > >==== ButeshireGenWeb Mailing List ==== >*********************************************************************** >For Websites or WebPages of Buteshire GenWeb subscribers see >http://www.rootsweb.com/~sctbutes/homepage.htm > >============================== >Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 >Source for Family History Online.
