In the St. Cuthbert's OPR for the baptism of my second great grandmother, Janet MONRO, her father Charles is listed as a "thread manufacturer in Richmond..." Charles was baptized in Edinburgh Parish, his wife, Janet HUNTER, was born in St. Cuthbert's Parish and Janet was baptized at St. Cuthbert's, so I assume Richmond is a Midlothian location. Perhaps a neighborhood in Edinburgh? Any help greatly appreciated. Richard Robertson richrob4@home.com http://members.home.net/richrob4/index.htm

Richard, In the area between Nicolson Street and the Pleasance in Edinburgh (both of which you will find on a modern map), there were/are North, South, East and West Richmond Street as well as Richmond Court. I would guess it was in this area that your ancestor lived.
