Avonbridge/Stein

[Seoras]

Could anyone tell me where Taylor's Buildings and Mill Cottages were in Avonbridge and if they still exist.I know they were there in 1917.Also looking for anyone who knew or was related to Elizabeth Stein(maiden name Wardlaw)of Avonbridge who died in 1978.

Lin Mill Cottage is still there I think, not sure about Taylor Buildings, but I can find out for you next time I take a Bike ride down there. I was born just outside Avonbridge at Crossroads.

PS. Avonbridge is in Stirlingshire so you might want to post in that board.

Ah,Stirlingshire,that would make sense as my great great grandfather was a shoemaker in Stirling.Thank you very much James.My granparents marriage certificate says that the wedding took place in Taylor's Buildings Avonbridge.Also could you tell me if there is a churchyard or cemetery in Avonbridge as I think both my grandparents must be buried there.Both were living in Avonbridge when they died.Thank you again for your help.

Yes indeed there is a Churchyard there, not too big and easy to walk round, if you give me their names I will have a look.

James Stein died 1952 and Elizabeth Stein died 1978.My Grandfather died before I was born but I vaguely remember my grandmother.I would love to find where they are.Thank you again James.

George,

Have a look at this other post: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,319151.15.html

This is the address for Falkirk Council Cemeteries Dept., who also care for Slamannan Cemetery & Churchyard.

James/Mosstrooper - is it Slamannan you're talking about or is there a cemetery in Avonbridge too?

Hi Anne,I will take a look.I'm not sure really.I know they were living in Avonbridge but as it's such a small place I guess they could be buried in the nearest large cemetery.I do know that births in Avonbridge were registered in Slammanan.

Went to Avonbridge today and spoke to several people who knew Jimmy Stein & family very well, told me where they lived, first at Taylor Buildings then MainStreet, then at Mill Cottage.

I thought at first Avonbridge had a buirial ground but its just the Church there, burials took place either
in Slamannan or Muiravonside. I chose Slamannan, there was not one stone belonging to Stein so I guess
this family are buried in Muiravonside. For me that will have to wait another day but you can post in the
Stirlingshire board for anyone with the MIs for this ground.

And Avonbridge Church.

One old man I spoke to said he would have a photo of Taylors Buildings, but not to ask him to find it, he can never find anything he is asked for, another old Lady had a photo collection too, she was in a hurry so I did not detain her.
