Thats worth looking into. I'll look up my other info about Charles Baird and who he went out to St P with .... I've got the bug now! Want to visit Edinburgh and St Petersburg!! I'm going to look for a very large piece of paper ... roll of lining paper ... it might go on for that long! Thanks for your thoughts and advice Mhairi. |

You should definately visit Edinburgh, its a lovely city :) I'm sorry if i have caused you any more hassles, i know family history can be mysterous and troublesome most of the time without other people coming in and adding more to the pile. If you ever need any further help with the Scottish side then let me know, i'm a regular at both the main library and the records office. Mhairi |

Ooh! I knew there was a possibility at some point of the name spelling changing (Handyside ----- Handysyde) was hoping it didn't though if I'm honest! That is another possibility though, thanks. Mhairi, I gather Great King Street in in central Edinburgh, whats it like? Is number 25 still there? Other known addresses 48 India Street and 30 Danube Street Sara :-) |

Would you like me to see if i can find the streets/houses, if they are still there, and get some pictures for you? |
