Hi I am Lorna, I have just started my tree and I am trying to trace anybody how knows anything about my grandfather his name was Henry Edwin Blackwood, born in the year 1864, at Cowgate Street, not sure if this is the right spelling Stirkintillock, the S could be a K, his father was called Thomas Blackwood, who was a Surgeon, my grandfather was also a Doctor and Surgeon, if this is any help to anybody. I would love to hear from anybody who could help me - from Lorna
