I can¹t read the writing on the address in South Leith on the 1871 census. It looks like - Someston's Close. Can someone help with this, please?

Try East Lothian, not far south east of Leith. There you should find Sommervilles Close, Berwick North, also a coastal village. -- Cheers, ALISTAIR http://quozl.netrek.org/cameron-research/

Could possibly be Smeaton's Close? ----- Original Message ----- From: "bcm" <mansonb@shaw.ca> To: <MIDLOTHIAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2005 1:13 PM Subject: [MLN] South Leith, "Someston's Close" ?? >I can¹t read the writing on the address in South Leith on the 1871 census. > It looks like - Someston's Close. > > Can someone help with this, please? > > > >

Hi, This is possibly Smeaton Close which ran of Giles Street in Leith. Maps can be viewed in the National Library of Scotland in the map room at Central Library George IV Bridge in Edinburgh.
