Dear Richard, I read your message about burgesses etc with much interest. I don't suppose you are able to look up the following:- 1.James Forman, (Baker of Richmond's Street in 1780 when he was married). 2.John Square, (James' father-in-law), late Deacon of the Fleshers in Edinburgh in 1780. Any assistance would be much appreciated. I have " History of His Majesty's Writer to the Signet" if anyone wants a look up ( e.g. Veitch WS?)
