There was no Bonnyrist. There is a place called Musselburgh in the parish of Inveresk in Midlothian. Unfortunately, there is a charge for access to the Scottish statutory registers, whether on-line or in person. The statutory registers are an essential source for Scottish family research, and so there is no option.

dont know if my earlier e-mail got through so am re-sending in case, the small village/hamlet of Bonnyrigg is just South of Edinburgh proper and falls in the area of Bonnyrigg and Lasswade, my brother in law still lives there and we visited him in August, hope this helps, all the best, Alfred -----Original Message----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com [mailto:gc-gateway@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of murray.archer@cwcom.net Sent: 15 November 2004 07:54 To: SCOTLAND-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SCOTLAND] Re: Fisher; Thomas Wilson (Bonnyrist?)
