Dotty, this looks promising, though I haven't looked for your particular streets:

Patience will be required I expect ... 

PS. Just had a quick look and Church Street is obvious. Is a 1819 map too early?

This looks really good, but I can't make much sense of it:

My ancestor Elizabeth Kerr and her son William also lived in Mitchels Lane. I was down there a couple of years ago, you can see where it used to be, new housing there now though. Its not far off the end of the Bridge over the river Nith.
