Hello Forrest, sorry to be so rude and but in, but noticed that you mentioned Golf Clubmakers were buried here. Are there any PAXTON Clubmakers at all here please. I Am asking as my Paxton's were Golf Professionals and Golf Ball Makers and Club Makers. My 2X Great Grandfather James Paxton born in Musselburgh in 1830 and my Great Grandfather James Paxton born 1860 born in Musselburgh but died in 1921 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Also George Paxton son of James Paxton and Elizabeth/Betsey Sharp and brother of my Great Grandfather James Paxton. George Paxton Golf Ball Maker died in May 1884. Just thought I would ask just in case they were buried here. George and James Paxton also had another brother named Peter Paxton who made Golf ball's and Gold Clubs they were all born in Musselburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. Peter Paxton born in 1857 and died at 1, Old Church Road, Romford, Essex, England. and is buried in Crow Lane Cemetery, Romford, Essex, England. Any Information would be appriciated.

Forrest Sorry, no military connection that I'm aware of, mostly Cabinetmakers and Golf Clubmakers. I'm looking for the burial place of my great-great grandfather, Thomas AITKEN, of Thomas Aitken and Sons, Brunstsfield Place, who died in February 1919. On a visit to Edinburgh, I spent a couple of days walking round nearby Cemeteries but didn't find anything. Recently I found a funeral notice in The Scotsman which stated that he was to be buried in Morningside Cemetery. He was the widower of Elizabeth AITKEN, nee VEITCH. Elizabeth appears in the 1891 Census so she died between 1891 and 1919 but I haven't been able to pinpoint the date yet. It's possible that she had been buried in Morningside. Also some of their children may be buried there - Alexander AITKEN, Golf Pro at Gullane, who died in Edinburgh in 1944 Adam AITKEN, died 1899 James AITKEN, died 1943 Samuel AITKEN, ? Another son, my great-grandfather, John AITKEN, is buried in Portrush, Co Antrim, where he was Clubmaker to Royal Portrush.

However there is an published index of the gravestones (which unfortunately doesn't give forenames in the printed version), and if you can give the name and any other details, then I'll try to find them in the index. Additionally, if there is a military connection to the grave, I may well have a photograph of the stone. Forrest -- Forrest Anderson, Edinburgh, Scotland.

I've read that Morningside Cemetery was opened in 1878. Would anyone know what part of the Cemetery was in use in 1919 or thereabouts, or could someone buried around that time be in any part?

My goodness! Thanks a lot. Virginia

Here are my Morrisins: JOHN1 MORRISON He married JANE (JEAN) KAY October 18, 1821 in St. Cuthberts. John and Jane pledged marriage on February 26, 1821. Children of JOHN MORRISON and JANE KAY are: CHARLOTTE BEATRIX2 MORRISON, b. May 26, 1822. MARY MORRISON, b. October 30, 1825. CATHERINE MORRISON, b. April 13, 1828. JOHN KAY MORRISON, b. October 1825. Note: John Morrison is from England! Here is the 1841 census per Sheila Gerner. I had a John Kay Morrison listed somewhere I think and he is not listed here. Sheila is wondering did Jane die in childbirth since she is not listed here either.

In the 1881 Census, St. Cuthberts,my husband's gg grandparents, John and Mary Miller are living at #8 Long Close. With them is their widowed daughter, Jane Widham, age 22. We can't find a marriage or death. Could someone please suggest alternate spellings for the name Widham? Regards, Virginia

I also have MORRISONs in Edinburgh. My g-g-g grandfather, Archibald (born 1823) married Susan JACKSON in 1854 in Birmingham His father Thomas (born 1792) married Janet DICK in Edinburgh, 1820 - they had eight children, I have the details if anyone thinks there may be a connection. Thomas's father was another Archibald, I don't have his birth date yet, but he married Margaret ANDERSON in 1782, Edinburgh. So far, I have found three of their children. Most of the marriages and baptisms took place at St Cuthberts.

This is a long shot, but I have Morrison, spelt as Morison, back a bit and quite close to Edinburgh - Christian Morison, who married Andrew Stark in Dalmeny in 1745. She may have been the daughter of Robert Morison and Jean Hasting, born in 1723 in Kilrkliston (West Lothian). Jenny On 3 Nov 2006, at 02:27, Trena wrote: > I'd be interested as well.

Apparently we also have MORRISON connected to our BROWNs. Great-grandfather Andrew BROWN was born c1853 Edinburgh; son of James BROWN and Janet GRAHAM.

Hi List, Would anyone have a copy of the MI s for Old Calton and be prepared to do a look up for me? I am looking for Elizabeth Weir MS Tait who was buried there between 1851 and 1855. Any assistance would be most gratefully received. Thanks Gary Weir
