Thanks so much, looks at first glance like there are a few of 'ours' in there, so this is a great help!

 Thank you for your reply Diddy,
                                               Sorry I've taken to long to reply been away to London for a wedding,  The Adam Meiklejohn I have died around 1889 -1890, he was 50yrs old I think!! it is his father james and his mother Margaret Hutton that would be of interest just now.

Hi Jac2,

Thankyou for your prompt reply - I wonder what the lingering illness was?

I know I am a bit cheeky but please could you look up his son: -
George SIMPSON dob 6/01/1814 Baldridge, Dunfermline.  He disappears on the 1851 census and we think he must have been involved in a mining accident.
The family are in Clackmannan in 1841.  He marries Helen Paterson on the 11th April 1840.  By 1851 she is remarried and living in Dunfermline.

Thanks again Tab11

Hi Jac2,

Thank you so much - we have been searching for that info for many years.

What do you think it means?  I will try and google it.

hi tab11

glad to be of help.
lingering illness is most likely emphzemia (miners lung).
water on the head comes up a lot, most likely fluid in the brain, causing the brain to swell. don't quote me on this. if i'm wrong someone is sure to point out the correct meaning.
