Hello Monica

Thank you so much for all this information.  I'm going to enjoy reading it and maybe find something that might connect with what I know of James.

Warmest Regards

Moira

hi all found this snippet of info from 1882-4 about denovan there is a calico printing establishment & an estate in dunipace parish , the estate comprises one fourth of the parish and belongs to forbes of callendar .
and  gunners hall addresses come under little denovan area according to the census 1851 , but still can,t find anything regarding why gunners hall and gunnery hall are so named , but the chances are that james stevenson worked at the print works as so many others did as back then no doubt it would be steam powered and before that water driven by the river close by .
regards

The Scottish Volunteer Force was raised in 1859 to help counter invasion threat, plenty on Google.
