hello - I am trying to find burial place of sarah raggan - married to David Scott - died november 7th, 1869 at Fountainbridge District of Newington City of Edinburgh. Would anyone know of a cemetary nearby and how I would access the records. Thanks. Heather

and also the LDS site is useful at http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp there you'll find a malcolm mcdonald married to a jane mitchell with a daughter elizabeth born oct 2, 1837 in Edinburgh Parish. Also bear in mind the Scottish tradition around that time of naming the eldest daughter after her maternal grandmother (although not always). Since Elizabeth appears to be the eldest sibling her grandmother may be Elizabeth Crighton/Crichton, just a thought, good luck moira Brian Ware wrote: > Hi Roberta.Try this http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/index.html. > Regards,Brian in Scotland. > > > At Tuesday 08/02/2005 13:17, you wrote: > >> Good day list, >> >> My great grandmother Elizabeth Crighton M(a)cDonald was born October >> 1858, Midlothian.

Good morning Merrylee. The Peel is the area of parkland surrounding Linlithgow Palace. Peel originally fro the French word for palisade, an outer fence made of sticks. The Peelie was a special constable who patrolled the Peel. I assume that his house was Peel house ie the park-keepers house on the grounds of the Peel but this is only supposition.

Hi Jeannette, Hopefully you will find the Coal Mining History Reource Centre site useful. http://www.cmhrc.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ Also worth a look is http://www.mcpitz.com/ Best wishes, Sheena -----Original Message----- From: J T Walton [mailto:jtwalton13@comcast.net] Sent: 06 February 2005 21:03 To: MIDLOTHIAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Mine accident information Hi listers, Please tell me where I might look for information on a mine accident in West Calder 18 May, 1859. I've found the death registration for an ancestor on that date. Directly below that is another man who died at the same time, same place, same day. The writing (by the same person) is a little hard to read but appears to be "Killed by foul ....in a coal pit. There has just been a discussion on LANARK list about mine records and the status of the workers. Hopefully, this incident is a little later than that, and there are some records. Many thanks for any clues. Jeannette ______________________________

Hi Terry! Thank you for the information on Peel House. The only thing that I know about it is that he died in Peel house but his usual address was Whitburn so I assumed it was some kind of Hospital or nursing home or old Folks home? Many Thanks Merrylee.

Good day list, My great grandmother Elizabeth Crighton M(a)cDonald was born October 1858, Midlothian. Her father was Malcolm M(a)cDonald. I think her mother was Jean Mitchell. Elizabeth moved to England and married Samuel James Charlesworth. These names are so very common! I haven't been searching my Scot roots for awhile and when my new computer was installed, I lost all bookmarks. I would appreciate someone guiding me to one good site and then I'll go from there.

My family is from Haddington and in the 1901 census shows my great grandfather (David Cockburn, died 1921) running a joinery business which I understand was based in a close off the high street and became quite successful, making cabinets, furniture, coffins, helping to build houses on Victoria Road and employing at least 4 people. His son, (also David) Cockburn took over the business and ran it for some years. I believe the business moved from the High Street to near the Gas works. In retirement, David Cockburn (died 1944) was the caretaker for the Corn Exchange (probably late 1930's). David Cockburn (1944) is buried in Haddington Cemetery. I'm trying to trace the burial place of his father who died in 1921 in Haddington. His father, grandfather and uncle all hailed from Humbie Bridge and the last two died there, but I can so far find no trace in Haddington or Humbie regarding their burial place. The family lived in Humbie before moving to Haddington but there appears to be no Cockburn records in the Humbie parish church graveyard, can you suggest what the next most likely burial places would be? Does anyone on the list have access to obituary notices that might provide a clue? -- Craig Cockburn ("coburn").

Hi very helpful list ! I need to look for an ancestor who moved from Glasgow to Corby (and subsequently died there) , Northamptonshire, what list would I subscribe to? thanking u in anticipation Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth, You need to subscribe to the Northants list. Do you know when your ancestor died, and where he might be buried. I live in Northants. Our family moved from Fife to Corby in the early 60s. Regard Evelyn
