Could SKS please tell me if 15 James Street Edinburgh is still in existence? I had an ancestor who lived there prior to coming to Australia. Sandra.

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

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????
