New things to decipher

Hi
A query for the district name in Hamilton.  And the name of the place where the person was born Badley? , in Cadder, Lanarkshire.
Many thanks

Small point perhaps but it looks like Bedlay, Chryston to me.

This is in my neck of the woods Bronwen, Chryston is about 7 miles from Glasgow so nowhere near Hamilton.  Bedlay is an old castle at the NE end of the village. Edmiston is a toff's name so maybe born in the castle? or the estate. The castle was up for sale a few years ago for under half a million.

Skoosh.

Definitely not toffs.  All working class.  Thanks for that Skoosh.

When I joined the National Coal Board in 1970, there was a mine called Bedlay.
