James [b.c. 1832, probable son of William and Mary (McNairn)] died in Feb 1873, age 40, at the same address. His widow Margaret was left with at least 6 children: Margaret, James, John, William, Mary and Isabella. Cable Wynd in South Leith is turning out to be a rather important location in my family history. In December 1874, Margaret (now living at 3 Cable Wynd) married George RAMSAY. Within 3 years two children were born, this time at 11 Cable Wynd. The RAMSAY family was living at this address on the 1881 census as well. Any information re the families or the street in South Leith would be greatly appreciated. Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
