    3. Hullo Mary, a.. REF: Would anyone please know what Burial Ground would be used (around 1830) if the family attended St. Mary's Parish Church (Anglican) Edinburgh, possibly Broughton Street? In 1813 A Catholic chapel in (or near) Blackfriars Wynd dedicated to St Andrew the Apostle of Scotland moved to an ornate church St Mary's in Broughton Street. (Current address: York Place). (REF: James Grant's `Old and New Edinburgh' .1882). In !874 The Duke of Buccleuch laid the foundation stone of a cathedral of the Scottish Episcopal Church dedicated to St Mary - facing Melville Street (now situated between the modern streets of Palmerston Place and Manor Place). (REF: James Grant's `Old and New Edinburgh' 1882). In a map of 1825 there is an Episcopal Chapel situated near the junctionof St Mary's Wynd and the Cowgate. There appears to be a graveyard associated with it. Hope that helps you - it probably just leads to more questions! Eunice Smith Edinburgh, Scotland
