Would it be possible for you to have a look to see if you have any Mundells from Dumfries on your list of Cordwainers please? Between 1700-1800 if possible. Many Thanks

Re: Guild of Cordiners, Glasgow, Scotland
Would you have a Thomas Keegan circa 1874. Thanks.

Re: Guild of Cordiners, Glasgow, Scotland
No, sorry. No Keegan.
By the 1840s membership in the guild was no longer necessary to make and sell shoes in Glasgow.

Re: Guild of Cordiners, Glasgow, Scotland
Jane,
I just saw your listing offering lookups for shoemakers. If it is not too much trouble and you are still doing it could you look up the following three people. All three were shoemakers in Glasgow in the early 1800's. They are Robert Munn, Thomas Munn and William Munn. I know Robert and Thomas were brothers and I would not be surpised if William was connected too.
Thank you very much.

Re: Guild of Cordiners, Glasgow, Scotland
Al - sorry, no MUNNs at all. I tried all variations I could think of. In fact, I looked at all the Ms and all the Ns. The closest I can find is a McMUNN James, entered the guild 18 Sep 1777. Jane

Re: Guild of Cordiners, Glasgow, Scotland
Thank you for looking up my Munn's in your list of Guild members. I do appreciated it.

Re: Guild of Cordiners, Glasgow, Scotland
Jane, If you still have the facility to look up this guild I am looking for Daniel McGregor and James Weston. They would be early 1800's. Thanks, Deb

Re: Guild of Cordiners, Glasgow, Scotland
Deb - No WESTONs, but I am emailing you a scan of the page with MCGREGORs. I don't see a match, but you might recognize something. I hope so.
