Edinburgh (Canongate) lookup please
« on: Thursday 18 August 05 04:34 BST (UK) »
Dear all,
I awaited my book of Canongate MIs today and alas  :( found no record of my ancestor Robert NELSON/NEILSON, however the booklet notes that the Burial Records for Canongate from 1820s onwards are very informative with detailed information about occupations, families, residence and causes of death. If anyone has access to Canongate Burials ~1830 onwards could I would appreciate a look up on:

Robert NEILSON/NELSON who was a shoemaker and was married to Elizabeth LUMSDEN/LUMSDALE 1825 and they had Robert (dec 1830), John (march 1833) and Helen.

Robert is not listed on 1841 census (could have been out but I suspect he is dead by this time) so my key looking period would be 1833-1841, but possibly after 1841.
