has anyone had success researching police ancestors in Edinburgh? (I will rejoin the police list too I promise) I have just discovered that my great great grandfather Duncan MACRAE served for 3 or 4 years with Edinburgh police, probably 1830s or late 20s. Judy Copywriter@tesco.net

Can anyone help with the families of:- William McLEAN Jnr and Sarah RUTHERFORD married 1847 in St. Cuthberts, whilst living at 3 Catherine St and 3 Semple St. William may well have been William George. Sarah's father was James and was deceased by the time of the wedding. There must be a William Snr somewhere. First known child William George (Jnr Jnr ?) b. 1849 (baptised March in St Cuthberts). They all seem to have been cobblers (boot makers/ closers etc). Any help would be much appreciated. Neil. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Tracing an ancestor born in West Bow - Thomas Williamson born 1866. I believe he was a kiltmaker in the Royal Mile. Any connections ? Mary

Hello Donald I dont know whether the MIs have been indexed but here is the info for searching the registers: Grange burials are indexed. Newington are not. There are no burial records for Newington after 1931 because it was owned for a period by a private company and records were lost in a fire. To view the burial records you need to make an appointment to go to the office which I think is still out at Mortonhall (I forgot to ask but I am pretty certain). The phone number is 0131 664 4314 if calling from overseas drop the zero and add international code (44) You can view the records during the times 10 am to 12 noon Mon to Fri and 2-4pm Mon to Thurs, but you need to book. Who knows, since you have an exact date you could always try phoning, explain you are from overseas, and ask if they can look for you during a quiet moment.

Was there a time period in Scottish history that the English controlled southern Scotland and even kept the birth, marriage and death records. This time period would be prior to 1760 -- how far back it would go I don't know. Thanks, Robert

Between 1923-78 the Beltona record label issued over 3000 x 78-rpm records as well as LPs and EPs. Most of these were by Scottish artists and I am anxious to find out something of their lives and careers. Scottish popular culture as represented on commercial gramophone records has been almost totally ignored and my researches aim to rectify this state of affairs. Visit my web site at www.beltonaproject.co.uk for a complete list of artists and more details of the project. Tow Edinburgh artists from the 30s were William Cairns who led a children's choir and "The Whistling Accordionist" Elsa Antonelli. I am always willing to help anyone with a query about a 78rpm record of Scottish interest (i.e When was it recorded?) Bill Dean-Myatt. bill@beltonaproject.co.uk
