Dear blog reader
This is the fourth part in my series of Cairneyhill hatches, matches and dispatches that have appeared in the newspapers.
I have always found such finds very exciting in my own 30 years of family history research and I hope this helps anyone doing similar Cairneyhill-based research.
(Glossary: inst/instant means of the present month and ultimo means of last month).
