Duncan (vet), Methlick; W. Duthie, Collinie; C. Florence, Scotston; P. Florence, Arneybogs; F. Godsman, Mill of Kelly; J. Grant, Methlick; Mrs. Gray, Flinthills; G. Hay, Gowanwell; G. Hutcheon, Sauchentree; Dr. Irvine, Mill of Ardo; G. Kirkton, Longhill; L. Lamb, Crimondhill; Dr. Ligertwood, Auchencrieve; J. Maitland, Little Methlick; L. Marshall, Polesburn; T. Marshall, Arneybogs; Mr./Rev. Mennie; J. Simpson, Sauchentree; Rev. R. Slessor, Methlick; A. Smith, Methlick; J. Stephen, Methlick; Rev. Dr. Whyte, Methlick.
The jobs vary from sharpening ploughs and shoeing horses to singeing sheep's heads (2d a time) and putting new metal tyres on a pram. Let me know if you have an ancestor amongst these customers.
