Argyllshire / Blackpark..Dunoon.
« on: Friday 17 August 07 00:24 BST (UK)  »
Hello Everyone ;D
   I have just finished looking at the 1871 census for Dunoon and Kilmun,and while looking at my Martha Davidson Galbraith entry, I thought I would check out the occupations of others in the street/area.Martha 2nd Husband ,James Galbraith was a gardener.
  There are about 5 or 6  other families in the area,and all there occupations seem to be Labourers in gardens,head gardeners,employing up to 6 men ,laboures ,etc even some wives worked in the gardens.
  The other thing I noticed the all the families,on the census,the homes were named,after them....Davidsons cott,Cowans cott ,Mcdonalds cott,..thers also a couple of Lamonts thrown in for good measure ;D
  Most have as address ..Blackpark... 1  or 2 others have..Queen st..St Kents Land ,Blackpark.
  I was hoping someone may help me out in finding out more about the area ;D.. I love gardening......I hope it was a wonderful garden ;D
        Have a great day...cheers from chrissy.xxx
