Have a look at this link - it explains it all http://www.edinphoto.org.uk/1_edin/1_edinburgh_history_-_recollections_edinburgh_old_town_croft-an-righ.htm Joanne Edinburgh ________________________________ From: Meg Greenwood <scotquester@bartnet.net> To: sct-edinburgh@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, 28 October, 2008 2:04:43 Subject: Re: [SCT-EDINBURGH] St Cuthbert's marriages Antonia - James Harrower HUNTER, Saddler Residing in #6 Croft-an-righ Wynd Abbeyhill in this Parish and Marianne HUNTER, Residing at Torryburn in the Parish there. Daughter of the late Patrick HUNTER, Residenter there have been 3 several times duly and regularly proclaimed in order to Marriage in the Parish Church of St. Cuthberts and no objections offered....[nothing further, no date for the marriage]. This page is dated at the top : 18 Dec, 1843, so that’s the date they used for the Marriage. The 3 words “Croft-an-righ” are not very clear, the first word is definitely Croft. However, it appears the words an-righ are separate and may not have a hyphen, this clerk left a long tail on his small letter n. I cannot figure out what this street or Wynd is named. Is there a Croftanrigh Wynd ?

Amazing ! Pictures of this house and recalled history ! More than ever anticipated. I hope Antonia in NZ sees this link, I'll make sure she gets a second note about it. Would #6 have been one of the rooms, or perhaps a floor in the residence ? Or might this refer to a separate residence further down the Wynd where Croft-an-Righ was the more notable landmark for an address ? Ideas on this address with the word Wynd in it ?
