Hi I've made an alphabetical index of the entries in the 1837 Pigot's directory for Dumfriesshire. I'm willing to do lookups ..copy and paste.......... <LOL> if I get swamped, priority will go to D and G FHS members...so if you are one, mention it. The entries for Dumfries town are online at an address Sandy gave a few days ago but I've done the whole county. It's still worth buying the facsimile booklet from GC books............ there are some interesting details in the descriptions of each area. For example did you know it only took 12 hours to go by ship from Annan to Liverpool? or that before 1810 the inhabitants of Maxwelltown were notorious for their disorderly conduct? Irene
