Hi all,

I wondered if anyone has any information regarding the above?

Going back to 1880 in my tree, my ancestors, two brothers, had a whipmakers' shop at 36 Chambers Street, Edinburgh, called 'G&J Leggat'. They had the Royal Warrant for being Whipmakers to the Queen on the front of their shop - would there be any lists anywhere showing this, or any information about their business? I have a picture of their shop found on Google from the 1880 Edinburgh Trade Directory, which shows the Warrant on the shopfront, but this is all I know.

Also, in June 1920, a set of triplets were born into my family in Manchester, England - Theresa, Annie and Margaret Collins. Their parents were David Collins and Mary Ann Collins (nee Ryan). According to my grandmother, they received the Royal Bounty which was given to parents of multiple births at the time. Unfortunately none of the girls survived to One Year Old. Does anyone have any information about the Royal Bounty, are there any documents which would feature the triplets? Would triplets all born alive at this time have been very rare?

Any information would be really helpful - thanks to anyone in advance! :)
