All care was taken to ensure accuracy, but occasionally it isn’t possible to read the information, due to the quality of the surviving documents. When a best guess was made, this is indicated with a question mark in brackets (?). When one or more characters could not be identified, they are replaced with ‘#’. We cannot be held responsible for errors made as the transcriptions. These were made to the best of our ability.
The lists below are in order in which they were published in their respective newspapers. They may not be in strict chronological order. You can either read through the monthly listings, or you can use the search facility at the top-left corner of this page.
TIP: If you are looking for, let’s say James Smith, by typing in that name you will get every James and every Smith listed in the HappyHaggis website, which might not be too useful. If you use speech marks ”James Smith” you will only get the full name coming up. You can just search for a surname or even a street name if you wish. The HappyHaggis website if fully searchable.

Late on Monday evening, a widow, named Elizabeth Currie, residing at 13 East Adam Street, was found
by her daughter lying in bed with the clothes all in fire around her, and the room filled with smoke. The
daughter, with the assistance of some of the neighbours, succeeded in extinguishing the flames, and in

Royal Infirmary, but, unfortunately, she was so much burned, that she only lived a few minutes after
being taken there. – Scotsman.
