Hi Claire,
You may already have 1901 census but, if not;
William (aged 36, born Livingston) and Mary (aged 30, born Livingston) are living at 3 Faraday Place at the time of the 1901 census with their 8 children - William (9, Livingston), Richard (8, Livingston), Mary (7, Livingston), Thomas (5, West Calder), David (4, West Calder), Charles (2, West Calder), James (2, West Calder) and Martha (1, West Calder).
William is shown as Foreman of Oil Refinery.
William was born to William and Mary and was living at 57, East End in Livingston in 1871. William senior was a labourer at oil works. The 8 month old Mary (Moore) was living with her parents, Richard (a cotton spinner) and Mary at 41, East End.
Is any of this useful or do you have already? I'd be able to do other census checks etc. if you don't already have.
Kenny

Claire,
Here is a photo of Faraday Place, I have more. If you send me a PM with an email address I will send them to you, they are all a bit big to post here.
On this quest to Addiewell, I fell down a rabbits hole and met Alice today, I will tell you that story too at the same time. It sure is an interesting world.
James.

Claire,
This is the back of the houses, I would guess they all have at least a Quarter Acre here at the back
and at least 3 Quarter Acre at the front.
More info and photos will come by mail.
James.

This may be of interest to some of you, have attached a map of Addiewell Rows, showing all the street names - Livingston Street, Simpson Street, Graham Street, and of course Faraday Place as well as the rest. Nothing left now of course apart from Faraday Place. cheers ... Meg

Hello,
I've never heard of Simpson Rows, being the same as Simpson Street, I thought that Simpson Rows were in Uphall, but could be wrong. Simpson Street, named after James Young Simpson, all the Addiewell Streets were named after Inventors/Explorers, Stephenson (steam engine) Humphrey Davy (the Davy Lamp), Livingstone (David Livingstone - who was a great friend of James "Paraffin" Young, who owned the Oil Works), Michael Faraday (Chemist) who in his early years worked with Humphrey Davy - etc....
I'll see what I can find on Simpson Rows........ cheers ... Meg
