Dear all, I am trying to find information on the siblings Andrew William and Peggy (Margaret) Moffat who would have been born around 1900-1910. Andrew Moffat married twice, first to someone called Ina and then to someone who may have been called Peggy. Andrew owned a dance hall in Edinburgh during the war and formerly was a cable car driver. Sorry it is so vague, but does this sound familiar to anyone? jenny

Hi Angela, Would your ancestors be John GLOVER and Ann DICKSON od Lasswade. I believe that my ancestors were James GLOVER and Janet CLELLAND also of Lasswade and possibly brothers. I would be very interested to know if there is a connection.

Dear Everyone I'm new to the list and am trying to find family connected to the parents of Royston Phillip Powell, born 1924 at Uphall. Roy studied medicine at Edinburgh Univ. and married Dorris Bolland from somewhere in England in about 1948. The parents of Roy, were Phillip and Edith Mildred Powell, who lived at Uphall where Phillip was an engineer. Roy was their only child. Edith moved to what was Rhodesia when Roy and Dorris emigrated in about 1950. All are now deceased. That's all I have - any suggestions? Regards ...

Dear Robert, try this , <A HREF="http://www.edinburghnews.com/">The Edinburgh Evening News Online - Scotland's Capital City newspaper</A> www.eveningnews.com or.. <A HREF="http://www.scotsman.com/">scotsman.com - Everything you need to know about Scotland</A> www.scotsman.com There is a contact area somewhere on each page. Hope this works. They represent the Edinburgh papers, and the News took over from the Evening Dispatch sometime in the 60's so they have their records also. Good luck. Graham

Hi Sandra and all, James Street does still exist, in Portobello .....I'm sure. My g grandparents, Robert & Margaret LAWSON were living at #13 James Street, Edinburgh in the 1881 census. Not sure when they moved but when their daughter (my Granny) was married in 1903, they were living in Spey Street, which is closer to the city centre. After they were married they lived in Stewart Street which is where my mother was born in 1906. When I was growing up in the 1950s my grandparents' lived in Hutchison Medway and that's where my Granny died in 1955. Be interesting to know if the same houses exist today????

Hi Sandra, There is still a James Street down near Joppa. But I think there was also a James St in the area near New Register House occupied by the St.James Centre. All the old streets in that area are gone. Jim McArthur

there are fragments left, just a very few buildings.

You are currently subscribed in "mail mode", which means that you will receive every posting made to SCOTLAND-OBITS as a separate e-mail. The directions on how to change to digest mode are given below. 1. How to unsubscribe. Send a message to SCOTLAND-OBITS-L-request@rootsweb.com that contains (in the body of the message) the command unsubscribe and no additional text. 2. How to subscribe. Whatever you just did worked, or you'd not be getting this message. But for future reference (for instance, if your subscription is cancelled for whatever reason and you want to resubscribe), just send the command "subscribe" to SCOTLAND-OBITS-L-request@rootsweb.com. 3. How to change to digest mode (several postings are combined and sent to you together as a single large message). There are two steps. First, send the command "unsubscribe" to SCOTLAND-OBITS-L-request@rootsweb.com to discontinue mail mode. Second, send the command "subscribe" to SCOTLAND-OBITS-D-request@rootsweb.com to start receiving digests. 4. How to change to NOMAIL mode. There is no formal NOMAIL mode. All you have to do is follow the directions above and unsubscribe when you want the messages to stop, and then when you want them to start again, simply subscribe again. 5. If you'd like to post a message so everyone on the mailing list receives it, just send it to SCOTLAND-OBITS-L@rootsweb.com. It will then be sent on to everyone in both mail and digest mode. You don't need to send it explicitly to both. 6. To contact the administrator of this mailing list, send mail to SCOTLAND-OBITS-admin@rootsweb.com.
