I've recently made a bit of progress with my research and would like to list my (now enlarged!) list of surnames: 1. Leith 1800s/1900s: HILL family who were wine and spirit merchants/publicans. 2. Edinburgh 1800s: John HILL boot and shoe manufacturer. John HILL spirit merchant. 3. Leith/Newhaven: John and Jean M'KAY (nee GUNN), spirit dealers 4. Newbattle: JACK family (Helen b.1845? daughter of Andrew) 5. Temple (Edinburgh) 1860-1900 and later Leith: MORRIS family (John and Helen) 6. Hunterfield, Newbattle: John MORRIS and Ann BELL (married 1840 approx?) 7. Hunterfield, Newbattle, Lasswade: ROSS (early 1800s). Johanna ROSS married Andrew JACK I'd be pleased to hear from anyone researching these names or from anyone who has access to census returns etc and who would be willing to do lookups.
