Notes for JANET WAUGH:

Nothing known about the Waugh family. The following received from Jim Robertson <jimjaar@ozemail.com.au> who researches old mills in the area.

"The caption under the photo of men loading a horse drawn cart outside a mill reads - Waugh's Mill Avonbridge c 1910. - This mill which stood on the north bank of the River Avon, between the river and Blackstone Road, was only one of a number of mills in the village. It milled corn and oats, and its owners J&A Waugh had a granary at Craigbank, nearby. The Waugh's other mill, known as New Mill, dated from the ealy nineteenth century, and remained open until 1935.

The Minutes of the Ogleface Friendly Society, for 5 Feb 1816 records the payment of four shillings to James Waugh. This sits amongst funeral expenses, annual allowances to widows, and whisky for a Committee meeting and grease for the hearse wheels.
