Does anyone know exactly where 'Peacock's Land' in Hardgate, Duntocher was? This would be in 1890's. Also who was 'Peacock'?

Thanks, PWN

Just a thought - if you could find it in a census, and then look at addresses on the preceding or following page(s), that might help to locate it.
Suffolk, England – Benstead, Boldero, Boldy, Boyns, Boynes, Collins, Cooper, Elliott, Fletcher, Laflin, Laws, Lankester, Markham, Marshall, Orriss, Steward, Taylor, Thimblethorpe
Scotland – Barclay, Campbell, Finlay, Freeland, Grove, Hay, Horn, Laird, McDonald, McKay, Milne, Mills, Peebles, Robertson, Shearer, Stewart, Strang, Thomson

A "Land" in this context in urban areas usually meant a tenement building or a building of more than 1 storey - Peacock would have been the builder/land owner.
