I am a member of the Lothians Family History Society and we are currently helping with a project to find the names of all the men who died during the construction of the Forth Bridge between 1883 and 1890. The official figures for the number of deaths are either 56 or 57, but we know the final number will be higher than this. The plan is to publish the final list. We have been using various sources, but would appreciate it if anyone has any names or family stories that would help us. If so, I look forward to hearing from you! Kind regards Val Wilson Lothians Family History Society
