    3. List, A while back a number of individuals sent me some information related to Durhamtown, Bathgate, West Lothian, SCT. I'm now on the prowl for more data. My reason for this message: Does anyone know if there are any records related to the personnel that worked at Bathgate Durhamtown Mines? If so maybe they would state where the individual was born along with other employment data that is common when one is hired. I am having no luck in finding out where my GGfather was born. The 1881 census states "Ireland" not much help. There are a few other Norton families on the same street "xx Durhamtown" so I am guessing that they must be related in some manner. One stated he was born in Queens, Ireland which I "assume" is the County of Leix/Laois. That is a start but would involve a great deal of searching to even find what parish he came from or it would be a brick wall. From the Marriage Register (1870) I have found his father and mothers name Michael Norton/Mary Dunn(s)(e) both deceased and that Patrick lived Durhamtown in 1870. Any help would be appreciated Bob Alberta, Canada
