Hi Jenny
As promised, took a look at the memorial in the cemetery on Mothers Day, unfortunately unlike some others I have seen, no names. 
Sorry I couldn't be of any help.

What a nice website, unfortunately, this appears to be for Morningside & Chapel in Wishaw not Edinburgh. There is a War Memorial in the cemetery in Edinburgh & as we buried my mother-in-law there recently, next time we visit I will take a look to see if your young man is named.
Cheers

Midlothian / Re: help needed baptism records

Hello Pam
I think you would have to contact churches in the area to see if there were entries in the Parish Records. You could look them up on BT if you are in Scotland or if not just do a google on churches in Inverleith in Edinburgh, many have websites these days
I'm not sure they would list godparents like the old OPRs though. I know my own certificate just says I was baptised into the church and the date, same with my children.
Also keep in mind many congregations in the area have merged over the years.
Good luck

West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Re: Margaret PRIMROSE b. 1782. Father = ?
« on: Thursday 23 October 08 21:33 BST (UK)  »
I too have a Margaret Primrose, although mine was born approx. 20/30 yrs after yours but in the same area.
I have read somewhere that the Primrose boys at Dalmeny/Cramond were a bit free with the ladies of the region. Most didn't seem to mind giving their illegitimate offspring their surname.
Mine married a John Ross somewhere between 1830 & 1840 & although I have the names of most of their children & their death certificates, cannot get any further back with either.
At least you have your Margaret's mother's name, I don't even have that
The only clue I have that she came from west of Edinburgh was her daughter Elizabeth born around 1837 who lists her place of birth as Dechmont Linlithgowshire ( West Lothian).  This is not many miles away from the Primrose seat at Dalmeny. 
I myself live not all that far from Dalmeny on the North West side of Edinburgh.
Good luck with your research.

Hi ADP
 Thanks for the top. Did that, still not getting in.
Maybe my service provider playing up.
Will go to bed and try again tomorrow.
Missed all the chat tonight though.
Will have to play catchup at the weekend.
Thanks again
Goodnight all

Just to let anyone interested know.
Talking Scot is down at the moment.
Tried to log on but it came up that the Domain name has expired. Contacted Admin Group so hopefully they can sort it out.
See everyone back on the forum hopefully before Santa arrives
