Hello All! In trying to decipher the entries for the Canongate Parish Burials, 1820 - 1851 database at www.scotsfind.org , I of course run into roadblocks now and then. I am trying an experiment to see if any of you can help solve the problem entries. I have posted 10 problem entries at: http://www.scotsfind.org/canongateburials_access/ProblemCanongateParishBuria ls.doc. The document is in Word 97-2003 format and the entry images are in jpeg format. If you want to try and help, down load the document and save it on your computer. You can then copy the images into a photo management program such as Photoshop, enlarge or otherwise manipulate them as needed. If this is successful I will post more problem entries so that between us we can improve the quality of the document. Thanks for your help! Richard Robertson

Hello Edinburgh Listers, In my wife's Gilfillan family, William TURNBULL married Georgina GILFILLAN on 31 Jan 1913 in Leith. They and their daughter Margaret emigrated to Canada in 1923 where sadly, Georgina died only 5 weeks after their arrival, in Chatham, Ontario. I have been trying to trace the daughter Margaret TURNBULL and various records found have birth year as 1915 or 1916, one record (a border crossing from Canada to U.S.A) being birthdate 14 May 1915. I would be grateful if anyone going to New Register House in Edinburgh would please look for Margaret's birth, which could be in Leith, Midlothian, or in Carluke or Glasgow, both in Lanarkshire. Best Wishes to All for a Merry Christmas and a Good New Year, when it comes! John Johnston Gisborne New Zealand
