Hi mamad,


Small world, I was born in Tranent in grandmothers house, at Ormiston Crescent, top of Northfield. My mum and dad stayed in Cockenzie at the time, but dad was down Prestonlinks pit on night shift, so she stayed with mother during late pregnancy for safety reasons.

Hi Mags

This is fantastic, thanks again.

George (1st cousin twice removed) is also on the following website http://www.enfa.co.uk/ regarding his time career at York City. I have been in contact with the webmaster at this site to offer them a photo of George, now I can give them further information.

Would you hazard a guess that the following maybe George "Died 26 March 1997, Cremated 4 April 1997 at Seafield, Edinburgh".

Do you know if they had any children?

Hello Andy,
Can't confirm any children and deceased online blank out living informants.

Hello Tom,
I was Robertson Avenue(the half block that was partly demolished due to pit workings). It was exciting as a child to have the "cooncil lorry" loading our furniture and moving us out when the cracks were found. We moved to Ross Crescent and then down to Coalgate Avenue where my dad stayed until his death. That was over 40 years in Coalgate Avenue! My grandparents lived in Coalgate too. Coalgate, as you know is just around the corner from Northfield. Had a lad in my class at school lived in Ormiston Crescent. For a time my dad worked at Meadowmill(didn't have any baths there so came home dirty), then Cowdenfoot and Monktonhall.

Hi,
I'm new to this site. Did an internet search and found this site. My granny that died in the 80's was Isabella Denholm. She was born in Edinburgh. Her fathers name was Robert Denholm. Unsure of her mothers name.

Hello,

Had a quick look at scotlandspeople.  As your user name is MacWatt, I saw the death of Isabella Munro Denholm, other name MacWatt, died Elgin in 1985, age 80.
Her birth cert. shows she was born at 26 Albion Road, Edinburgh 24? Dec 1905(writing's not clear on cert.) Parents: Robert Denholm and Jamesina McLeod.
Robert and Jamesina married 27 Nov 1903 at Edinburgh. His parents were Robert Denholm, Wood Sawyer, and Janet Wood. Her parents were John McLeod, Fisherman(deceased) and Marion McKay previously McLeod ms Munro.
If you access the 1911 census on scotlandspeople, you'll get Robert's birthplace.

Apologies if I have gone up the wrong path and made wrong assumptions.

Oh my goodness Mags!! Thank you so much!!  Yes my granny died in Elgin, when I was 9. I have had a look on Scotlandspeople before. But I have never been able to find that much information, and find it so difficult to read the writing. You have helped so much. Thank you so much again
