Hello I have read the postings of Pigot's Directory 1825 with interest. I haven't heard of it before - I suppose it was some sort of commercial reference for the area. I don't know what occupations it included, but do you think it may have listed David CAMERON (possibly with his father) who is shown, in the 1841 Census, as a Nail manufacturer in Silver Street, Creetown? I'm also interested in any listing for Peter BROWN (married to Elizabeth Ramsey) who would have worked in the same district in 1825. Best wishes Sybil Cameron
Sybil Found - only 1 Cameron and neither David nor a Nail Maker - lots of Browns There is a Peter Brown from Moffat somewhere in the list. Regards Joy : Jno.
