Fruiterers in Edinburgh
« on: Monday 14 March 16 09:24 GMT (UK) »
Hi all, I'm trying to find the name of a fruit shop in Montagu Terrace, Edinburgh in 1930.

It was owned by my grandmother Jessie Ramsay. Any suggestions as to how to find out, gratefully received!

Thanks,
Meggy1

Was just going to suggest trying for this on Scotlands People 2 credits to view the record it might mention the name if your lucky ..You could also try British Telephone Directory if you google the address a few things come up

Ah, thank you both. Have looked on SP and in BT directories for that year. Who knew that telephone directories could be so fascinating?!! Found other bits of interesting information.  :)

Thank you Hibee. That is my grandfather Matthew. There is a bit of a story here and I'm just trying to join all the dots! Thanks for your interest.
