Notes about James Archibald

1. Life of Andrew Archibald Scottish Genealogist June 1971
James, born 15th June, baptized 22nd June 1778. Witnesses were William Watson and Abraham Steele. It is not known who William Watson was and it seems likely that Abraham Steele was the maternal grandfather. There is no record of marriage or death for James and it is possible that he died as an infant or child as burial records are missing in Inveresk parish from 1763-1783.

      About the Book

      This book is a work of over 30 years research of records of coalmining parishes of Scotland in the counties of Midlothian, Fife, West Lothian, East Lothian, Lanark, and Stirling; the counties of Northumberland and Durham in England, and a few areas of Australia.

      The families include ANDERSON, ARCHIBALD, BLACK, BOYD, BROWN, CHEYNE, CRAWFORD, CUNNINGHAM, FLEUCKER, JACK, JOHNSTON, KING, LINDSAY, LOURIE, MILLER, MOFFAT, NEILSON, PENTLAND, PORTEOUS, REID, ROBERTSON, RUSSEL, SMITH, STEEL, WALKER, WILLIAMSON, WILSON, and others. Many of them are traced back well over 300 years. Each line, treated alphabetically, is fully documented with sources used, contains supportive evidence, and an index of complete names. Some information on Scottish family research, and on Scottish coalminers, is also given.

      The book is 293 pages, hardcover, and is illustrated.
