hello Dawn if you can supply a date, then assuming the company was in business for 50 years previously, there is a very good chance that someone might find them in a trade directory or some other kind of reference. There were a lot of department stores along Princes Street so the business might have been subsumed into one of those. Always a chance that company records have been lodged with a library so try www.hmc.gov.uk (national register of archives) and nls.ac.uk The National Library of Scotland Judy ---------- >From: FamilysPast@cs.com >To: SCT-EDINBURGH-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [EDB] Re: A.
