Hi Researchers, Require some help re finding the family tree (descendens) on "Sir Walter Ogilvy" as there is some thought our "David Ogilvy" may be a descendent of Sir Walter?. So as we are at a standstill trying to locate David's ancestor's there is some thought to try the other way! Can anyone suggest a Web Site or where one may obtain this information?

Hi On behalf of my wife Margaret(nee Purves) I am seeking any links to the family of James Purves believed to have been a sailor from Edinbrugh about the turn of the last century(1900). He appears to have arrived in New Zealand about that time. If anyone could connect him to ancestors for me please. Thank you in advance Dennis Catley denniscatley@paradise.net.nz

I have a Thomas Purves marrying an Annie Agnes Kidd in 1860 in North Leith. The Kidd family contained mariners. I know little about the Purves other than his parents were Robert Purves and Jane Robertson.

Hello everyone, Have just started up a web site as a point of reference for my main Scottish Lowlands interest names on - http://www.geocities.com/elnalexjoe/lowlands.html It is still in the very early stages but you can link at the moment to information on - BARTLEMAN, HOWIESON, SMITH, TAYLOR and WADDELL I will soon be adding information on GRAY, SINCLAIR and SYMINGTON. The information I have personally gathered along the way not only relates to my own family but to some others with the same surnames. It would be good to find a home for this information. Not a huge listing but might be of use to some. Apologies if you see this more than once. Best wishes, Eileen

Hello list I wonder if anyone can fill in the details about Jamaica Street. I have just sent a lister a pic of the bit that remains on the eastern side (next to Howe St), but I recall there is a bit remaining on the western side, leading on to India Street. In the seventies there was a huge gap site in the middle, as i remember, but on the Alan Godfrey map you can see a typical New Town pattern of a long street with lanes to the north and south. What happened? Judy

I wonder if some kind person could tell me into which Parish or Parishes Princes Street is situated. Patrick patrick-puttock@crown-lopen.freeserve.co.uk

My new found relative from Australia sent me this very interesting website which I thought might be of interest to some of us: http://edina.ac.uk/cgi/StatAcc/StatAcc.cgi -- Best Wishes Angela<boon.bluecats@ntlworld.com> Pettistree Homepage http://www.pettistree.suffolk.gov.uk/

http://edina.ac.uk/cgi/StatAcc/StatAcc.cgi ("The Statistical Account of Scotland") Angela Boon (of this lists) posted the above URL today and although I was a bit put off by the title, I decided to check it out. I am SO glad I did! It is fantastic. When you click on the URL above, it takes you to a page where you select a county and/or parish, and a time period (later 1700's or early 1800's). I chose Leuchars Parish, Fife, late 1700's where most of my people originated. Then was taken to several pages of a most fascintating report written by a Rev. Mr. Kettle. The report, of course, descrives the county geographically, but not the usual way. Rev. Kettle described places, tells who were owners, inserted bits of interesting personal data and history. As an example, he tells about the naming of Tentsmuirs (anyone have people from there? If so, you MUST read this.) It was named because the people put up tents to live in on the moors there, that the original name of this area was Sheughy-dyke. But the reason for the name Tentsmuirs is what makes this so fascinating... shipwrecks, etc. I found in the report something I had long been searching for - information about the old castle that once stood outside the present village of Leuchars. It also told about Earl's Hall which was thenowned by Robert Bruce Henderson, Esquire. (One of my relatives was a docent at Earl's Hall until it was purchased by a German family a few years ago and closed to public. A great shame because around the wall of the great hall are ancient swords of clansmen and the ceiling is painted with the arms of the men). The report is filled with names of men living at time the report was written, for example he tells about Pitcullo, "the estate of Neil Ferguson, Esq.", Ardit, the estate of John Anstruther, Esq.; Dron, the estate of Robert Meldrum of Clayton. And mentioned that the "garden belonging to Pitlethie once stood one of the hunting seats of James VI, King of Scotland". So if you want to spend some time reading some really interesting ready, please do click on the URl at beginning of this message and explore. REMEMBER, you may find the spelling disconcerting at first. In the report I read, the letter S at beginning and middle of a word was written like the letter F (but not exactly - but I can't describe how here). But when printed, it really shows as letter F. This makes it fun to read. Have fun. Mary Inglis

Hullo everyone I am a newcomer to the list and I am hoping someone may be able to help me. Two of my g-g grandparents, William Cochrane and Jean Collier, were married in Edinburgh at the Leith Wynd Chapel on 24 November 1814. Is the chapel building still standing today? Is anyone able to direct me to a brief history of the chapel or to where I might find an illustration of the chapel - preferably as it looked in the first half of the 19th century. The Minister of the chapel who officiated at the marriage was the Rev. Joseph Robertson. Mr Robertson was "deposed" as a Minister of the Church of Scotland on 2 May 1818, having been convicted by the High Court of Judiciary of celebrating unlawful marriages, and uttering fabricated certificates of proclamations. Would the 1818 records of the Court still exist and if so, where are they held and is it possible to have access to them. Any help would be very much appreciated.
