Ian, Thanks for that. My relation's address was 1, Adelphi Place, Leith Links (from where his brother wrote the invitations to his funeral in 1846 at St Cuthbert's-to about 150 people including an Earl and a Lord!). It is also written in family correspondence as Leith Links South. Isn't it stretching Leith somewhat to include Portobello? Perhaps there used to be another Adelphi Place. I am now certain the George Forman, Wine Merchant, Adelphi Place is NOT the same as the George Forman, Publican, (Levenhall) although close contemporaries. I'm in Leith this w/e so will look at your mum's house.

My Mother was born there in 1902 and my Grandmother lived in the same house (No 11) until her death in 1956. The house still stands - at least it did in May of this year! I think that No 1 may also still be there, but not sure. Could possibly be your Adelphi Place. Regards, Ian
