Budd, number 88 is on the west side of Candlemaker Row which means it is in New Greyfriars Parish; the east side of Candlemaker Row is in Old Greyfriars Parish.? In both cases they will come under the Edinburgh City Parish as far as pre 1855 Register of Births Deaths and marriages are concerned (sometimes in those registers these two?parish name are shortened to 'OGP' or NGP') A good place to look for detailed maps is the National Library of Scotland Digital maps collection. http://www.nls.uk/maps/index.html I've got a very small map on my own website but not detailed enough to see individual streets. http://www.hoodfamily.info/misc/miscedinmaplarge.html Albert ________________________________________________________________________ AOL's new homepage has launched.

Hi Albert: Thank you for your information on the above. That was exactly what I was looking for. My ancestors are all from all parts of Scotland from Nairn to the New castketon in Roxburghshire. I can use the National Library Website address you provided to fill in some gaps in my own knowledge and to add to notes of my ancestors. Thanks again Budd
