  • Notes 
    • The informant on the death of Andrew Neill was his son-in-law John Marshall

      West Lothian Courier of 16 June 1922, page 3. It reads as follows:
      FOUND DROWNED. - On Monday morning, the body of Andrew Neil (66) , who resided with a married daughter in Mid Street, Bathgate, was found in Sunnyside Reservoir, which nestles among the Bathgate Hills. Deceased had been in ill-health for a month, and was subject to fits. He left on the Sabbath afternoon for a walk. Not returning in the evening, search parties were sent out, but not until the following morning was the missing man found. Neil at one time farmed in turn Whiteside and Craigmailen. Thereafter he kept a dairy. On the death of his wife he gave up the dairy, and worked with Messrs Renton and Fisher, Ltd., and until his illness a month ago, he secured his share of work.

      Whiteside is a farm on the eastern edge of Bathgate, and Craigmailen is a farm at Torphichen, about two miles north of Bathgate. Renton & Fisher was a steel foundry in Bathgate.
