G'day Marilyn, >I have been given a photocopy of one page of the book "History of >Kirkintilloch" ed. John Horne and would like to obtain a copy of the whole >book or even the chapter which mentions gggrandfather William Handley >("Industrial Advancement") in order to obtain a better overall picture of >the weaving industry and Kirkintilloch at the time. >Does anyone know if this book is still available or could be purchased in >Australia? You have probably realised by now that I am also interested in Kirkintilloch. I am also a member of the Society of Australian Genealogists. http://www.ozemail.com.au/~socgenes/sag.html Have a look - well worth joining. Was in there the other day and there was a most comprehensive History of Kirkintilloch. I will be going back this week and will check on the author but I would bet that this is the one. SAG.
