In addition to these listed against certain houses the following individuals were also resident of the village at this time: - Bella Buckie, Bella Sinclair and Poopy Bella!
Have a look at the illustration to see where the houses were located in the village at the time (around 1900). Unfortunately all house numbers are not illustrated because some of the houses had already been demolished or had fallen into disrepair as the 1800's progresed.
