4 Jessie ( ), married to joiner George Mooney, died in the Upper Bow; Fanny ( ), no details; William ( ), married to Catherine McNaughton or McGheechan; Agnes ( ), married to publican Elliot Edgar Johnstone. Ann died at 243 High Street, Edinburgh in 1900 and Gabriel died in the Upper Bow on 20 July 1918 not long after the death of three of his sons during the Great War.

She was adopted by Thomas Bennett ( ) and Mary Baxter ( ). Jessie Whitehead Bennett lived at 489 Lawnmarket with adoptive parents Thomas and Mary. Thomas was a boot maker and you can just see his name on and above the first floor window in 1904 in the photograph on the left. Is that Thomas walking down the steps? Page 3 of 9
5 The photograph on the left was taken in 2010 in James Court. The sign (circled) above the door of 477B Lawnmarket says; T BENNETT BOOTMAKER ENTRANCE 489 LAWNMARKET Photograph reproduced with kind permission from Peter Stubbs, Edinphoto website George and Jessie have 7 children, their middle names are also shown: Thomas Paterson Bennett ( ): Thomas, a publican, was married to Isabella Gerrard ( ) in 1924 then to Jane Harvey ( ) in Thomas died in the Upper Bow near to the Lawnmarket. Mary Baxter Bennett ( ): More details on Mary later. Gabriel ( ): Married to Annie Devlin ( ) in George ( ): Known as Guvvy, short for the Guv nor, due to the fact that he married dairy owner s daughter Margaret Ramage in You can see Ramage s Dairy shop in the photograph on the cover page. Jessie ( ): Married to John Mowbray Muir ( ) in Jessie died whilst resident at 457 Lawnmarket and was the last of the family to leave the Lawnie. Jessie s and John s son David was a Royal Marine who was killed in action in Aden in the Middle East in 1965 aged only 18. Susie ( ): Married George Gray ( ) in The photograph on the left shows Jessie and John, standing, at Susie s and George s wedding. Page 4 of 9
6 Grace ( ): Bunty was single and died at 312 Lawnmarket from tuberculosis. George Mowat died on 1 July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme. George was a member of the 16 th Battalion Royal Scots, also known as McCrae s Own. Edinburgh businessman and politician Colonel George McCrae ( ) formed this Battalion (consisting of A, B, C and D companies) which included many of the city s sportsmen, including a number of Hearts footballers, in C company. Most of the Battalion s original 1,392 men did not survive the war. Private George Mowat lived at 501 Lawnmarket (11 James Court) and joined B Company of the 16 th Battalion of the Royal Scots on 17 May 1915 in Edinburgh aged 36. Included in B Company were a large number of George s fellow Edinburgh printing industry workers. He was 5 feet 4 inches tall, 8 stones and 7 pounds, and had a tattoo of his date of birth on his left arm and an anchor on his right. He wore glasses; his eyesight was poor due to his work, but not poor enough to prevent enlistment. On 18 June 1915 around 1100 soldiers of the 16 th Battalion left on a train from Waverley Station for a camp in Ripon in North Yorkshire. On the 23 August 1915 George s daughter Grace was born. In September 1915 the Battalion moved to another camp in Sutton Veny in Wiltshire for final training. They left nearby Southampton for Le Harve in France on the paddle steamer Empress Queen on 8 January The Battalion was involved in a number of contacts with the German army up to the 1 June 1916, when, shortly after 7:30 in the morning, 814 men of the 16 th Battalion went over the top at the Somme. George was killed during this initial advance. By the 4 July, the Battalion had lost 636 men. The British army had some 20,000 men killed on the 1 July alone. Page 5 of 9
7 It is likely George s body was never identified as his final resting place is not known. He is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial in France, along with over 72,000 other British and South African soldiers from the Somme battles whose burial locations are also unknown. Sadly, wife Jessie s letter to the army, left, enquiring about George, was posted 11 days after his death. Two of George s brothers, Archibald and John, were also killed during the Great War. In 1917 Jessie was awarded a war widow s pension of 29 shillings per week. In August 1918, after many other battles in World War 1, the 16 th Battalion was disbanded. Jessie died on 21 November 1948 at 447 Lawnmarket aged 69. Most of the information about the 16 th Battalion Royal Scots came from the book McCrae s Battalion: The Story of the 16 th Royal Scots, by Jack Alexander. Mary Baxter Bennett Mowat ( ) Mary Baxter Bennett Mowat was born on 3 May 1901 at St James Place, Greenside, Edinburgh and is the daughter of George Mowat ( ) and Jessie Whitehead Bennett ( ).
