Hi CSC.

Sorry, I can't answer your question myself, but a quick phonecall to the Reference Desk at the Ewart Library, Dumfries will get you all the info you want :   01387 253820.

I'm in Yorkshire and they helped me no end.

Hi again.

Living in Dumfries, would you by any chance remember a Chiropodist located on English Street?
Not sure when he ceased trading, but he was my Grandma's brother.
I only found out he existed last month and I'd like to find out if he had a family in Dumfries.
