The subject may be misleading, but this is genealogy related. I came across reference to this book "The Edinburgh Cabinet and Chair-makers' Books of Prices 1805-1825" and wondered if anyone has access to it. My ancestor, John Nisbet of Edinburgh (about 1800- about 1841) is listed as a cabinetmaker in various documents I have and wondered if there is mention of him or any other Nisbets in this book. I would appreciate if someone could look and see what might be found. Thanks, Eric Nisbet Ontario Canada www.geocities.com/egnisbet

Hi Eric, Have you come across any Nisbet Easton's in your research of Nisbets. He was in the W. Lothian area. He married a Baxtor.

Hello, I also would be interested in seeing this book. My ancestor was Robert Stuart who was listed as a Turner in 1803 and then as a Chair-maker in 1804 onward. In Halifax, NS, Canada in 1826, he was listed as a Cabinetmaker.

Could you please reply to this list with the answer to this question please as I have SINCLAIRs in Edinburgh at that time who were cabinet makers. Thanks, Doreen. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric Nisbet To: Edinburgh List Sent: Sunday, March 18, 2007 4:34 PM Subject: [SCT-EDINBURGH] The Edinburgh Cabinet and Chair-makers' Books ofPrices 1805-1825 The subject may be misleading, but this is genealogy related.

There is a copy in the National Library of Scotland. It appears to be a new compilation published in 2000, so you might be able to get a copy from the publishers or even the author. You might ask the library for photocopies of relevant bits, subject to the appropriate copying rules. http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-111453720.html Has a review. The available info suggests the book is what it says - specifications for a huge range of furniture items and the price to be paid for each stage of work. I dont think it is a list of prices supplied by competing cabinetmakers for example. Judy On 18 Mar 2007, at 16:34, Eric Nisbet wrote: > The subject may be misleading, but this is genealogy related.
