Hi Carolyn,

I missed your message on Samuel Green and George Jack and have only just read it.

I'm afraid I have no information at all about Samuel's work. He moved after a year or so to the Canongate and stayed there till he died so I presume there was work in the area. His son, another Samuel, also became a corkcutter.

Sorry I can't help.

Regards,

Anne

to Netta,

I live in Australia these days, although I'm Edinburgh born and bred. So not exactly near Bridge of Allan, no ...

to cjack,

My GG grandfather Samuel Green (b. Ireland ~1825; d. Edinburgh 1893)  was also a corkcutter in South Leith in 1851. His son Samuel became a corkcutter as well, but my G grandfather (one of his other sons) didn't take up the trade. The family moved to the Canongate and stayed there.

I have just read what I wrote online and apart from being unfinished, it's also rather abrupt - quite unintentionally so. Comes of being a Scot, I suppose. We often get into strife thereby.

And my name is Anne, and I'm also ancient, but just a little bit less than Anonette is - or is that also too Scottish a comment?????

I've just come across the Corkcutters by chance and although I haven't yet read all the posts - I'll add my twopence worth. Does anybody (other than me) have Dublin corkcutters who migrated to Edinburgh in the middle of the nineteenth century?
