That's fantastic, Imber - thank you!

So Catherine was a china merchant herself! 21st-Century me is slightly grumpy that they didn't record her occupation on her death certificate.

Hi,

I hope I'm not too late to the party.

The Cochranes are certainly very well known in the Glasgow pottery circles.  However, there were many of them in Glasgow as can be seen from the 1872/3 PO Directory: https://digital.nls.uk/directories/browse/archive/83961253?mode=transcription

Alloa Pottery is featured in Scottish Pottery's Historical Review (SPHR) # 22 [2002]
I am sure I have a copy, if you are interested in its contents?

All the best,
Jamie

Hi Jamie
Yes definitely - thank you, I'd love to know more about the Alloa Pottery. I'm not sure what the connection with Glasgow is - perhaps Mrs Cochrane's husband? - but interested to know more about its early years and the Anderson / Cochrane connection.

Kirsty, I read your posts about James Anderson, China Merchant and wondered whether we were related in some way; way back!  My GGGrandfather was a James Anderson, China Merchant, born 1820 and his son, James Anderson was also a China Merchant, born 1852.  Would love to compare notes.  Hope to hear back from you.

Hi Susan
Interesting - yes there might be a connection!
By 1820, I think my James Anderson was dead and his daughter Catherine (Mrs Cochrane) was nearly 40. I don't know about anyone else in the family (yet) so your James could be his grandson from a son. Where were they born? Catherine was born in 1783 in East Linton, Haddington, so if she had a brother, he might have been born there. I think James may have lived in Dunbar, not far from East Linton.

I found this reference on the NAS website to a court case, so this might refer to your James' father or grandfather:
NRS Ref CS231/A/3/15 Extract retour of the general service of James Anderson, potter in Alloa, as heir to James Anderson, residing in Dunbar, his father, dated 4 Feb 1804.
please do pm me

Hi Kirsty,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!  Yes, very interesting!   it appears that I have two James Andersons that are listed on birth certificates and marriage certificates as Glass and China Merchants?  James Anderson (SR) was born in Glasgow in about 1820, he married a Elizabeth McBain (McBean)sp in November of 1850, in Fife , Scotland.  He and Elizabeth had 8 children one of them being my G Grandfather; George Mc Bean Anderson; born in of August 1858.  My G Grandfather's oldest brother was named James.  He was born in Perth, Scotland in April of 1852.  At this point I' m not too sure what James Anderson's father and mother's names were.  Ill keep checking but perhaps that's where the connection is? Can you give me the actual website ifo to look up the court docs?

Thanks,

looking forward to hearing back,

Susan
