I just went to enter my gr.grandparents on ancestral villages and found INVERESK [East Lothian]. On my grandmother's birth entry it has INVERESK county Edinburgh and I thought that was Midlothian. Can someone tell me if there are 2 Inveresk's and AV only has 1 listed, or have they got it wrong or have I. Thanks, Josie

Hi seems years ago when doin census etc places seemed too b under Edinburgh instead as u say like midlothian / east lothian My family where in Stow which i would have said was the Borders area but they have it down as Edinburgh. Strange really

Thanks for that - maybe Edinburgh used to be a county before East/Midlothian existed - they only do it to confuse us don't they - I'll have to check out Liberton where they were married and see what that is now, there's me thinking they were area's in Edinburgh. But how do I find St Cuthberts? Josie
