   The information I have gathered so far –

There is a lot of information on Adam Goldie.

Midlothian Advertiser : Down Memory Lane.  He was arresting the grave robbers.
Scottish Post Office Directories .
The Law Chronicle 1830 Law reports
Greys Annual Directory Edinburgh , Leith & Suburbs.

Just google His name and Sherriff Officer Edinburgh.

Hi Norma,
           Thanks for the reminder. I forgot to mention that I had Googled "Adam Goldie Sheriff Officer in Edinburgh"  and a few items did pop up.

           At least from those items I know he was still alive in Edinburgh in 1832 (Grays Annual Directory, Edinburgh, Leith, and Suburbs, 1832-33, Cowgate, 199 Adam Goldie, Sheriff Officer) and died before his wife in July 1855 - but I can't seem to find any mention of his death.

           I have also found a birth for an Adam Goldie, and the date seems about right, but whether he is the correct Adam, not sure - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTP3-V4Y
           Adam Goldie - birth: 23 Apr 1792  in Cockpen, Midlothian, Scotland - parents Adam Goldie and Helen Morrison - married 8 Dec 1779 in Cockpen, Midlothian, Scotland.

Thanks Norma. I think you might find that death you mentioned is related to Adam Goldie's son, also called Adam - aged about 1 year xx months (born 27 June 1830 in Edinburgh). I mentioned it in my first post.

Hi,

My Granny was a Goldie and Adam Goldie was her Gt. Grandfather.  Don't have much info on him, but can tell you about some of hi descendants if you're interested. Connie

Hi Connie,
         Would love to find out more information about the Goldie family and any descendants.  This Goldie name carried through my family as a second name, e.g. Agnes Goldie <surname>.

Regards,
          Sandi
