Note: 8/1/00 I got his birth record from St. Cuthbert's Church in Edinburgh. No indication that he was baptised, but a record of his birth entered.
Parents lived at 26 Carnegie St and father's occupation given as wright,
mother's name as Jean Milne. According to report from Perth Library, his
census record for 1861 gives his place of birth as Edinburgh. A hatter
[see phrenologist's report] in Perth, where he married Elizabeth Dandie,
whose father was a chemist on the High St in Perth. His business as a
hatter failed after he signed a note for someone who later failed to
repay him. Later his occupation was given as a commission agent. Their
children were born in Glasgow, Perth, and Edinburgh, and he died of
phthisis in Edinburgh at 4 John's Place, St. Leonard's. His wife died in
Dunfermline in 1909.
One puzzle is that his death certificate gives his mother's maiden name
as Jane Buchanan. Would his sister-in-law have known for sure?
24/01/00 I found the record of his birth in Edinburgh in the Scottish
Origins database and ordered it. His mother's name is given as Jean
Milne on this occasion.
