Blachall and Scott

[Rufous Treecreeper]

Hi,

I have a photocopy of family history information written for my grandmother and in part it says;

'Grandfather Watson was an Engineer at Blachall and Scotts Comb Warehouse in Edinburgh'

I have tried googling without any luck.  Can anyone help with advice on how to find out about this company, please?

Thanks, Mo

Hi Mo,

I think they were Blackhall and Scott, comb manufacturers - try this link

  Thank you, Linda, that's great.  They are in the same street as Thomas Watson and his family were in the 1841 census

Pleasure, just the sort of clincher to find!

Hi there, I realise I am a bit late to this conversation but I also had an ancestor called Thomas Watson who was married to Charlotte and lived in that area of Edinburgh you mentioned
