Midlothian / Re: Carnie, Brand & Noble - Newhaven and Leith

Hello Newhaven Cousins- I am also a Carnie and have Noble, Rutherford, Liston, Durham, Dryburgh, Flucker, Paterson, and many other "Newhaven names" in my tree.  I am new to this forum and just found it today, but wanted to share a book with you all in case you did not know about it.  Apparently it was written by a distant cousin of mine (although, in Newhaven, who ISN'T related??!!), and it is a history of the Newhaven families including historic photographs.  It is a wonderful documentation of the Fisherman's (and Fishmonger's) way of life in that area as told by the people who lived there. The book is called Newhaven-On-Forth, Port of Grace, and it was written by Tom McGowran, published in 1985.  I just searched to see if it might be available on Amazon, and it is available through 3rd party sellers.  For those of us who remember the family stories, and those of us doing research so that we may learn of them, this is a wonderful opportunity to be "transported" back in time, surrounded by our ancestors! You may even find your own family history stories that have been told here. Here is the link - https://www.amazon.com/Newhaven-Forth-Grace-Tom-McGowran/dp/0859761304.  Happy ancestral hunting, and "Lang May Yer Lum Reek!".  For those of you who have access to the Newhaven History Museum, can anyone tell me if John Stevenson and his wife Rhona are still there by any chance?
