West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Re: Mossend Swifts Football Club

I think you may be correct about this photo not being Mossend Swifts. There is no mention in that list of any of the five Ellis brothers who played regularly in the 1880's and 90's. There is a reference in The Courier (West Lothian) of 23rd June 1888 to a photo of Mossend Swifts being taken which states "The players are all in their football attire , while in the midst of them stands a table draped in red, with their two elegant trophies in the centre". Of course there may well have been other photos taken of the Swifts back then.

Edit - Just done a few google searches and quite few of those names you listed played for Leith Athletic.

Hello jboydkennedy, fantastic photos. Do you happen to have a list of the names of all of the players in these photos?

Thanks,

Hi Thelma,
I live about 5 minutes walk from Whitburn Churchyard. I can see the location of the stone from the West Lothian MI's. I will try and get you a photo at the weekend.

West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Re: Breich Inns West Lothian How do I date the building?

Breich Inns is no longer there. I think it was destroyed by fire about 3 or 4 years ago.

Hello Becky,

I have Walker ancestors from Bathgate in the 1800's. It was a common name in the area and I do not have a link to the Walkers of Tippethill although there may well be one further back.
