Pottery Workers (and maybe a few others)

living in the parishes of Bo’ness & Carriden

and recorded in various documents

 
 
My Census lists appear to have been well used by those researching their family history.  This has led to me receiving queries and information.
 
The following references are outwith these Census lists and have been "found" either by myself or by those contacting me and looking for additional information relating to their ancestors.
 
Can you add names and details to this list?  Yes?  Then please email me with the relevant information and I will include it.  Thanks.
