Arbroath Year Book & East Forfarshire Directory Lookup Offer
« on: Thursday 29 May 08 17:09 BST (UK) »
I have (for the moment anyway) the Arbroath yearbooks for the years 1890 1894 1895 1900 1901 1902 1904 1912 1927 1928 1929 1938 1939 1940 1948 1950 1951 1955.

These contain a list of householders for Arbroath, Carnoustie and Friockheim.
As well as info on aspects of the villages of Arbirlot, Auchmithie, Barry, Carmylle, Colliston, Guthrie, Inverkeilor, Kinnell, Kirkden, Lunan, Panbride and St Vigeans.

So if anybody wants someone or some place looked up let me know and I'll get back to you.

Derek.

Hello Margaret,

I've had a look and couldn't find any reference to them in the 1927 or '28 directories, although the info is less detailed for the outlaying towns compared with Arbroath.

Sorry I couldn't help more,
Derek.

Hello Derek,

Re:  Colliston

I would be grateful for any information you may find on

William Johnston, b. 1857, d. 1925, and his wife Elizabeth Ramsay Dorward, b. 1861, d. 1914.

William was coachman, assistant factor and possibly factor and they raised a large family at Colliston Castle.  They were there from 1898.

Regards,

Kathleen

Very kind offer, thank you.

I'd be very interested in anything on Ethie Haven, in the parish of Inverkeilor, and anyone living there.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Okey dokey,

First Kathleen. Sorry nothing on Colliston to report.

Andy67, sorry.

Forfarian, There's a couple of people listed as grocers in 1889 in Ethie Haven. A "Miss Finlay" and "Thomas Cargill".

Sorry I couldn't furnish any of you with more, but the books really are Arbroath centered.

Derek.
