Hey Jean Can i ask when James worked there? It would help with a search. Also do you know if James died before or after the guy who owned it? As sometimes wills are placed in the Scotsman and servants/workers mentioned sometimes. Let me know Mhairi

Clair The one with the heading lists both menagerie and vernon but not in the same bit. I'll keep having a look. Do you have any names that i could look for? That might make it easier. Thanks Mhairi

Hello Mhairi Can you look up a report on a fire in South Queensferry, in happened in April 1949 and apparently was quite bad, something to do with alcohol going up. My Grandfather thought it had been in the paper - but not sure if he meant just the local one. Any help much appreciated Kind regards Sue

Clare Cant find anything at the moment but i'm pretty sure something might be there. It just might take some time to emerge. I'm on holiday next week so i'll have time to sit a shift through it all. Mhairi
