G'day Edinburgh, This is my first e-mail to this list, so hello from sunny Australia! My husband's gr-grandfather, George Mathieson, was born at 40 Jamaica Street on 24/9/1864. His father was also George Mathieson, a joiner and journeyman. Can anyone familiar with Edinburgh tell me what is built on 40 Jamaica Street now, please? Also, if anyone has access to the 1871 census, I would be grateful to know whether the family was there at the time. The family seems to have migrated - gr-grandfather turning up in South Africa in 1895 when he was married there. However, I am trying to trace the rest of the family, so any help would be much appreciated. The family, as I know it, is as follows: George Mathieson Head born 29/12/1837 Leslie, Fife Catherine Bottomley Wife born 3/1/1837 Dunfermline, Fife George Mathieson Son born 9/8/1860 Glasgow John M Son born 6/10/1861 Glasgow Janet M Dau born 24/5/1863 Edinburgh George David M Son born 24/9/1864 Edinburgh Margaret Deas M Dau born 1866 Edinburgh William M Son born 1868 Edinburgh James M Son born 1870 Edinburgh Robertson Balfour M Son born 1872 Edinburgh Many thanks, Dale Mathieson geodale@bigpond.com
