Hi Val

In the 1851 Census for Kincardine-in-Menteith there was a Shuttle Street in the village of Thornhill. On the page at the start of the book, where it tells you which part of the town or village which the enumerator was covering, it says:

'So much of the rest of the village of Thornhill as lies in Hill Head, Shuttle Street, Back Yett, including the House on the East side of the Turnpike Road northwards of the West Port to Mary Chrisitie's house.'

It was signed by the enumerator, James Slater, Teacher, Thornhill.

Regards

Hannah

Thanks Hannah. Unfortunately it is not on the modern map! How frustrating.

There's a map in a book called 'Thornhill and its Environs; a social history', which shows Shuttle Street as being north of and parallel to the village main street, then called High Street. There was a smithy there, which is clearly seen. I don't have a scanner but if you pm me with your address I'll photocopy it and post it to you. Alternatively, you should be able to get it through the inter-library loan scheme. The details are:

I think St Ninians library has that book on their shelves.
( don't use the place now since they rearanged the books to make it more difficult to find the books that you want)

Don't know if you're a member or not but the Central Scotland Family History Society have that book that can be borrowed by its members.

Cheers.

I have scanned the map that you want and can pass it on to you if you could give me an email address via a PM.
