Perthshire / Re: Strageath Mill, Muthill
« on: Tuesday 23 April 19 08:17 BST (UK)  »
Well, Thank you all very much.  You have given me a lot to think about here and I can perhaps get the Stewarts back a wee bit more.  In answer to all questions: no, I hadn't seen his death but I knew it was somewhere between 1843 (g grandfather's birth) and 1847 ( Mary's remarriage).  Mary and James' marriage banns are quite descriptive so I know he was miller at Strageath in 1837 and with Mary herself still being there in 1851, I assumed that she actually hadn't moved.  Valuation Roll is a great idea and maybe through mill ownership will get somewhere.  I suppose it would be too much to find that his father had the mill before him!! :-)

Perthshire / Strageath Mill, Muthill

Does anyone have any information about Strageath Mill in the 19th Century.  My g-g-grandfather, James Stewart, was the miller there in the 1830s and 40s.  Unfortunately, the family was missed off the census in 1841 and he was dead with his wife remarried to John Milne who had become the miller by 1851.  Without any further information about James, I cannot take this branch of my tree back any further.  Big brick wall so would appreciate some assistance.

Thanks to all who have replied to my query and thanks, Forfarian -  I think that you have given me the definitive answer.  Shame I'm just back from Edinburgh - ah, well it can wait till the next time.

Hi Tom,
GG Grandfather's name was John Wilson and living at that time at Blackhill Farm in West Calder; he later moved to Fannyside Farm in Dumbarton.  His Great Uncle was James Duncan living in Stane at the time of death but had farmed Cairneyhead, both in Parish of Cambusnethan in Lanark.  He died in 1886 and his will was lodged at Glasgow Sheriff Court.
Thanks for any help.

Midlothian / How can I find details of a property in Leith
« on: Sunday 14 April 13 16:34 BST (UK)  »
Wonder if anyone can help me locate a property.  My G G grandfather's great uncle left him "the property belonging to me in Hillhousefield in Leith" in 1886.  How can I track this property down with such slim details and find out when my G G grandfather sold it?

Thank you very much for letting me know, Lodger.  I can see a long trail down from Brora to Wishaw to get my own picture!!!
Thanks again

Hi Lodger,
Are the photos of the Duncan headstone in the Private Burial Ground of the siblings Thomas, Agnes, James, Margaret and Janet?
If so, I would really appreciate a photo.
Thanks very much.

Thank you for this.  I know that Margaret was buried at Amulree so perhaps she is on one of the non-recorded stones.  The rest are probably at Auchtergavin as they moved down to Shenval Farm.
Perhaps someone can give me some advice as to how to get information about burials post-1855.  I spent a day going round both Amulree and Auchtergavin cemeteries and found nothing!! (Ever seen an extremely bored husband?)
Many thanks for your help.
