Broxburn West United Free Church, photos?
« on: Saturday 01 September 12 15:59 BST (UK) »
I'm wondering if anyone knows of the existence of photographs of elders of the Broxburn West United Free Church? My GG-grandfather was an elder, and Session Clerk, there until his death in 1914. I have no photos of him, or of his wife (despite her living until 1932). Is there a collection of old photographs in a local archive, or maybe a book on local church history? I'm guessing that local newspapers at that time had few photgraphs.

More old pictures here of the Town and Gala Days of the past
I'm sure someone on this site may be able to help if you drop
them a line.

Possible the church itself or the UFCoS may have archives?

Or you could try the National Library of Scotland.
