1841 Edinburgh lookup 142 High Street
« on: Thursday 14 April 05 11:18 BST (UK) »
Is there anybody who can look up an address on the 1841 census in Edinburgh for me please?  I have a will from 1840 which mentions "Mr. Robert Ferrier, Miss Mary Ferrier and Mrs. McCulloch of Edinburgh, 142 High Street."  I would like to know who they were so I can work out how they fit in to my family.  I hope there weren't too many High Streets in Edinburgh in 1841, but if there were lots, sorry for asking!!  I've already tried the names on FreeCEN and come up with nothing except a Robert Ferrier at Gilmour Street, but he was the only one in the household.  (Unfortunately FreeCEN doesn't have an address search as far as I can see, but it says that Edinburgh hasn't been completed yet anyway.)
Kate.
Bristow, Horsleydown; Glasscodine, anywhere; Ferrier, Edinburgh; Lucey, Bermondsey; Horner, Essex; Bowskill, Elkesley; Salter, Great Yarmouth; Vowles, Bedminster/Cardiff; Morgan, Breconshire; Vidgen, New Romney
