Note that the List of Names column has Thrashiehill above Rashiehill.
It is possible that initial J (as in J. Black &c) is initial I, though comparison with other books suggests that James and John were popular forenames,
and there are few if any examples of initial I.
I have added Calder and Slateford Trust from the original page. |
