Perth weavers in 1837

Post by Chris Paton » Sun Feb 11, 2007 4:20 pm

Hi all, I've uploaded a list of weavers working in Perth in 1837, along with their addresses, onto my family history site at http://chrispatonscotland.tripod.com/id83.html .

The list was originally extracted from the town's directory from that year and republished in Paul Baxter's "Perth: It's Weavers and Weaving" in 1936.

regards

Chris

Hi Chris:

What a nice site and kind of you to bring the list to the attention of the members of TS. I'm sure you'll get quite a few visitors checking your list.

Hi Chris

That's a nice addition to your site.

I liked the drawing of Old Pomarium. A few of my Malcolm's lived in that area towards the end of the 19th century.

Cheers
