Transcriber's notes
Thanks, Nora, I appreciate your guidance. Did you see the note I left on page 67? I could not post my query in the "topic" section, as I am denied access - I don't know why.
Best Wishes,
auntylexa.
Hi AuntyLexa,
Yip, its Daveran, page 61 is a very poor signature. Sometimes we do find some of the signatures need updated as we find better and clearer versions. Some are so badly written we've only been able to work out who they are as Kate has found a book of the OS Surveyors names.
As to being denied access to some forums. We have a technical issue and cannot open up new groups for the counties that were added to the site at a later date. Just use any of the ones on the forum to ask questions (even if its a taxgroup). I mentioned this on the last newsletter ;-)
Hope you are enjoying the move from taxes to OS.
Kind Regards
Nora

Ordnance Survey - Midlothian county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Midlothian, which is in the east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
