They have. They are in the National Library of Scotland!

Yes, quite possibly. Thank you. Now to try and find if they have left any records, though I rather doubt it.

« on: Thursday 30 March 23 15:41 BST (UK) »The index on SP gives Mary Jane's year of birth as 1845. FindMyPast has a transcription of this OPR and has I suspect mistakenly attributed her year of birth to that of her brother.Yes, I think that's exactly it. The actual entry gives Andrew born 1841 et Mary Jane born 1845 as I put in my original post.
My thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately Andew Maitland senior still remains a mystery apart from his occupation.

Thank you for that link - I'll certainly contact them.
I had hoped I'd put enough info in my first post but didn't want to make it too long, a difficult balance which apparently I didn't manage to achieve

Many thanks for your reply, Forfarian.
I do have Catherine Mcglashan's birth in St Andrews in 1816, her marriage to Andrew Maitland, a printer, in January 1841 and most of the info about her descendants and some on her ancestors and siblings. Also on Catherine Daly Maitland's family - they did move to England, unfortunately!
My problem is with the Andrew Maitland who married Catherine Mcglashan. I have looked at apprenticeship records online as presumably he would have had to serve one but to no avail. There may just be clues in the papers of the George Heriot Trust as family legend says his son, Andrew, also a printer compositor, attended the Heriot School. It was not THE school - I inquired a long time ago - so I think it must have been one of the other schools set up for poor orphans. There was one in Old Assembly Close apparently backing on to Borthwick's Close. I wonder if the admission register survives and, if so, whether they give the reason for a child's admission. I may be clutching at straws or there may be no truth in the family story.

Midlothian / Andrew MAITLAND of Borthwick's Close, Edinburgh

Hello everyone
For many, many years I have been looking - online as I'm not in the UK - for information on the above person or persons, so I really hope someone may be able to help me.
Andrew Maitland, a printer of Borthwick’s Close, Edinburgh was the father of :
Catherine Daly Maitland born out of county about 1823, mother’s name unknown ;
Andrew Maitland born 1841, my great grandfather,
Mary Jane Maitland born 1845 probably died before 1851 – no record found,
John Maitland born 1848,
the three children of his mariage in 1841 to Catherine Mcglashan all three born Edinburgh.
Inconveniently, Andrew the printer was not at home when the 1841 census was taken and died before that of 1851. No record of his death has been found but Catherine née Mcglashan is a widow in 1851.
Catherine Maitland née Mcglashan is at the Borthwick’s Close address in the 1841 census together with Catherine Daly Maitland and Andrew Maitland, aged 69, born out of county who is an « Army P. », which I take to mean Army pensioner. I have been unable to find any record of a soldier or an Army pensioner named Andrew Maitland and born about 1771.
Andrew Maitland, a printer of Old Assembly Close, married Margaret White in 1835. She may have died in 1836. This marriage is too late for Margaret to be Catherine Daly’s mother, always supposing the Andrew Maitland is the same one.
I have a lot of information on the children and their descendants and also some on Catherine Mcglashan’s forebears and siblings as well as her second marriage to Hugh Mckay, but would be extremely grateful if anyone could tell me more about either of the two Andrew Maitlands of Borthwick’s Close who I think must be separate individuals unless anyone knows otherwise.
Regards
Judith
