Neill,

If I placed a request for you to do a search of newspapers in Edinburgh to find a specific item, how much would something like that cost.  Say a person searching for a grandson (illegitimate).  My grgrandfather was the grandson that was being searched for, but we do not know by whom.
All we know is that his son had died during the war WWI and he knew he had a grandson whom originally he would not recognise.  Purportedly he placed an advert in the Scotsman.  My grgrandfather was born c1872 and died of sleeping sickness in Edinburgh Infirmary, he was I think 51, without checking my records.
