Hi Kath, if you would be so kind as to just have a glance around where ever you are & come across a William & Margaret Kerr.(nee Fleming) would you take a photo for me. I don't expect you to do a search for me, just if you spot anyone of this name. I don't know when they died or where they are buried. Thankyou so much for your kind offer. Hilary.

Hi Kath, I know very little about my Father's family who lived in Edinburgh. My father William Michael Lindsay Bell b 1904 died in 1972. the youngest of a large family mostly girls.he had a brother Thomas , and his Mothers name was Catherine Bell neeRoss b 1866 -- who died about 1948- 1958 I think they will be buried in Edinburgh. If your list isnt too long and you happen to see these names I would appreciate it. His Father and another Brother died in WW1. They lived in Torphicken Street Edinburgh. Many thanks Molly.

Hi Kath, Probably a long shot but if you're near St. Cuthberts could you look for Peter Graham and wife Margaret Dalgleish. I suspect they both died shortly after 1792. Many thanks, Cath.

Kath, I'd be very grateful if you come across any thing with the surname of Brash, that you could just make a note of it please.. I'd understand if you wont have time, but just if you come across the name by chance.. all I know is that my Brash family came from Edinburgh..It is not a common name, so don't suppose there are lot's . my thanks indeed if you manage to note any .. Regards Dolly.
