Apropos this memo I know there is / was a "Cuttlehill" with colliery not far from Crossgates, just east of Dunfermline, Fife. Any likelihood this could be it? Sounds like a literal transcription of what it might have been called verbally. Shows in the 1853 OS map of Fife. Rob Adamson >Hello, >does anyone have any information about the town Cuilhill? I have two >generations of my family living and married there(Great Grandparents and >Great Great Grandparents). What made the town disappear and how many >mines were there and would there be a list of workers for individual >mine sites, would be some of my immediate questions. Any and all >information greatly appreciated. I am now trying to put some meat on >the bones of my ancestors. Family names would be Wilkie, Leitch, and >McCartney or McCarthey. Adresses would be 28 Porch Row Cuilhill 1881 >and 17 Bairds Row 1902. Here's hoping some one out there knows more >that me. >Regards, >Valerie Montgomery-Bull > Rob Adamson Brisbane, Queensland Australia
