I have a letter written from a cousin? to my uncle who was sent over seas during the WW1 and was wondering if the house at the address is still in existence. Address is: 58 Marchmont Cres Edinburgh She signs herself your loving cousin Mary. Her surname is McNab and I wasn't aware that I had any members of the family with this surname. Amazing what is hidden out there. Regards Elaine

If so, No 58 would refer to the entrance to a set of flats in a tenement property. See www.espc.co.uk and do an address search for Marchmont Crescent. There are two flats for sale at No 43, and one at No 70. That will give you an idea of the type of property that No 58 used to be, although it's always possible that the block containing No 58 had now been redeveloped and replaced my modern flats.
