Christian Learmonth

Her mother was Christian Livingston from Parkhall near Falkirk and she died whilst she was a child.

She was the only girl in a family of five until her father remarried and she gained three half sisters and her step-mother Anne Crawford.

[1] Her millinery business was in Lyons Court and she lived nearby in Carrubber's Close off the Royal Mile in Edinburgh.

She created caps and handkerchiefs to order so there is a record of the materials that were used at the time.

A similar list exists for Elizabeth Brown(e) of Norwich who was in the same business and these are of great use to historians.
