Peter Perhaps you should contact the golf course. He may have been connected with the Club for a long time. Their contact details are given at: http://www.musselburgholdlinks.co.uk/location/index.html As for The Green Cafe, it is no longer there and had disappeared by the 1950s. South Bridge in Edinburgh stretches north from the University buildings on the corner of Chambers Street to the junction with Princes Street. It forms a junction with the High Street (Royal Mile) on the way. It is lined by shops and hotels on both sides, except when it crosses over Waverley (railway) Station - which tends to be the only time when you realise it is a bridge. For history, see http://www.historic-uk.com/DestinationsUK/EdinburghVaults.htm Maybe someone else will have come across The Green Cafe.

Rhoda and to all others on the List, who have been so very helpful with suggestions and websites and also information about the two address that appear on Ann Milne Brown and Eva Christian Brown's birth certificates. It seems that there was a connection to the Brown family at this address for many years. I will pass on what I have been given to me from the List, and I am sure that maybe, he will be able to connect to a distant relative.

Hello, Well it apprears that descendants of the Brown family were still living at the Globe Street address, with the daughter of being given her third christian name as Brown. How can we join up the dots? John Brown and his wife Mary Knowles, had four so far known children, John Brown born 1880, Mary H Brown born circa 1883, then Ann Milne Brown born 1909 and who I am interested in and Alexander Brown born circa 1890. What does the 1881 Census show for this address?

Over the years I have collected original old letters and documents as & when I find them - some of them relate to Edinburgh people and its about time I start looking for the relevant families to return them to! (no payment required) this one is a hand written funeral letter with the black edging dated 24 Aug 1887 addressed to a John BLAIR of Castle St Edinburgh and reads "Sir The favour of your Company to attend the Funeral of Thomas David, my son, from this house here to the place of Interment in Grange Cemetery, on Friday the 26th Inst, at 3 o'clock, will much oblige. Sir Your most obedient Servant Eliza A. Hewit 58 Melville Street, Edinburgh 24th August 1887 Any info on this family would be appreciated to help me track the descendant. Shyama Peebles Hong Kong

Hello - I am most interested in your reference to MONCUR in Edinburgh as I also have that name in my family and they gave their daughter ( my aunt) the middle names of Mary BROWN so wonder if there is any connection & which Moncur was in the census at that Grove Street address mine are - James Sandilands MONCUR mar Helen CAMERON dau Massie Mary Brown MONCUR born 1 March 1909 Best Wishes Shyama Peebles Hong Kong [snip] this time was living at 86 Grove Street, Edinburgh and at a guess this may >> [snip] This is of absolutely no help to you but I know the address. In fact 2 people in my tree by the name of Moncur were born there in 1920 & 1922 & another one died there in 1982. One idea might be to check the passenger lists for Canada then Census records, then postings on Canadian genealogy messageboards David

Hi again Janice In 1881 there were BROWNS living at 1 Chalmers Buildings and at 6 Chalmers Buildings. These addresses appear to be in different areas of Edinburgh. 1 Chalmers Buildings was in the Edinburgh St Cuthberts district. This would be the Fountainbridge address described in earlier emails. 6 Chalmers Buildings, on the other hand, where you said Ann was born, was in the district of South Leith, down by the docks. Living at 6 Chalmers Buildings in 1881 were George and Elizabeth BROWN and their 2 children Elizabeth, 7, and Christina, 4. (Source: Scotlands People website) Rhoda

Hi Janice Living at 86 Grove Street in 1881 were the following families: Borthwick Forman Preston Ross + two children with surname Senter + Henry Miller and Peter Whitewright.

Hello David, Was the address at 86 Grove Street a private residence, or was it a hospital? Ann Milne Brown's grandson, Bob was able to obtain a copy of Ann's birth certificate and she was born at 6 Chalmer's Building in Edinburgh on 28th My 1885. I carried out a Google and found this on the Chalmer's Building:- The Chalmers Building, Fountainbridge Edinburgh, at a guess I suppose it was apartments. I have joined The Ship List, and the same suggestions regarding searching for Ann embarking on a ship for Canada, however if was informed that many young ladies were leaving for the US and Canada from Glasgow and also Liverpool as Domestics, the Lister advised me that she could not find an Ann Brown leaving from around 1910, nor on the 1911 Census. However, and idea has come to mind that maybe Ann married in Edinburgh and sailed to Canada with her new husband, she may have been in Canada for the 1911 Census, but not under the name Brown. Thank you for your reply, I very much appreciate it.

On Thu, 28 Aug 2008 22:13:41 +1000, you wrote: >Hello David, > >Was the address at 86 Grove Street a private residence, or was it a >hospital? It was certainly not a hospital. I was born & brought up in Fountainbridge, just opposite the junction with Grove Street but I left Edinburgh in 1971 so my memory of the numbering is a bit vague. However looking at: http://www.heraldhousehotel.co.uk/ which is 70 - 72 and now a hotel [In my time it was a working mans hostel - I wonder if the current customers know that] and <http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?sourceid=navclient&hl=en-GB&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4ADBF_en-GBGB239GB239&um=1&q=clan+house+edinburgh&fb=1&cid=0,0,7464369642096597344&sa=X&oi=local_result&resnum=1&ct=image> which is No 92 just on the junction with Fountainbridge. If I looked out of our window to the left that is the building that we saw. Based on the location of these 2 buildings I can say with certainty that 86 was a tenement, typical of the area - ie down the market. On the ground floor was a sub post office run by Freddie Glidden. In his younger days he played for the Heart Of Midlothian - see <http://www.heartsfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/HallofFameDetail/0,,10289~835112,00.html> > >Ann Milne Brown's grandson, Bob was able to obtain a copy of Ann's birth >certificate and she was born at 6 Chalmer's Building in Edinburgh on 28th My >1885.

Good afternoon Listers, I have joined the Edinburgh List hoping SKS maybe able to help me regarding a family by the name of Brown (I know, I wish it was some really uncommon name). I am helping a friend to find his grandmother. Bob was born in Edinburgh in 1941 and immigrated to Sydney, Australia in the 1960s. Bob's grandmother was Ann Milne Brown born on 28th May 1885, to John Brown a Butcher's Assistance and Mary Brown (nee Knowles). John Brown was born circa 1858-1860, also in Edinburgh and he had one known sister Ann born 18th May 1865. John Brown Jnr was the son of John Brown and Ann Brown (nee MILNE). John Brown Snr was born circa 1839 to Alexander Brown (born circa 1802 in Edinburgh) and Ann Brown (nee Gammond) (b. circa 1803 in South Leith). Now back to Ann Milne Brown, on 24th December 1909 at the age of 24 she gave birth to a daughter, whom she named Eva Christian Brown. Ann Milne Brown, at this time was living at 86 Grove Street, Edinburgh and at a guess this may have been her parents address. The chappie I am helping to find what happened to his maternal grandmother, had no idea about any of this history, until after the death of his mother in 1994 in Manly, Sydney. The baby was either left with family or friends to raise, as Eva was always known as Brown, so Eva was not adopted. However, when Bob went back to Edinburgh some time back, trying to find the missing pieces, he was told that Ann left Scotland some time after 1810 and immigrated to Canada. I know this is a long shot, however I have my fingers crossed, hoping that maybe a Lister may know something about this family or have them on their family tree and may be able to confirm if Ann Milne Brown did immigrate to Canada, and may know something about her life there. If she married and had a family and if there are any descendants of hers in Canada? One can only hope. Regards, Janice Belrose - Sydney Australia

If we're looking at the same entry, the census indicates that Annie Brown was born in Ontario in Jun 1885 so it doesn't appear to be her. I took a look in ScotlandsPeople and there were no marriages for Ann Milne Brown (the full name) that matched her. I didn't search the name Ann Brown as there would be too many matches to check out. -----Original Message----- From: sct-edinburgh-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:sct-edinburgh-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Kathleen Ogg-Moss Sent: August 28, 2008 7:36 AM To: sct-edinburgh@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SCT-EDINBURGH] BROWN & MILNE FAMILIES OF EDINBURGH The 1911 census shows an Annie Brown, right age, in a rooming house in Toronto.

I think you mean Chalmer's Buildings, which is still there, despite the frantic office development round it in recent years. It is basically a tenement block but of a slightly unusual layout. It sits at right angles to the main street and the doors are reached by a path. The main door flats have front gardens. I dont think there is any space to speak of at the rear (unlike your normal 'back green' and the back of the building faces onto the Scottish Widow office complex. It is more or less opposite Tollcross Primary School. I wonder if there is a connection to the Rev Thomas Chalmers - the history of the local chapels is a tangled one but I think the congregation that ended up at the Barclay Church had a mission or chapel in the immediate area. Its not far from Grove St anyway.
