Talk:USS Barnwell

message: My grandfather was in the navy and was aboard the USS Barnwell during WWII. There are several interesting facts that arn't in the article that he has shared with me. 1. The ship was in a fleet but fell out after test firing its deck guns and cracking open the stern. 2.The USS Barnwell was the last ship to see the USS Indianapolis before it was sank.(My grandfather said that they came close enough to yell from ship to ship where they were from). 3. The Barnwell was fired upon by the same submarine that sunk the Indianapolis.(They most likely picked up the Indianapolis and, beacause it was the bigger ship, the sub stopped pursuing the Barnwell and went after the Indianapolis). 4. The sinking of the Indianapolis was known to the Barnwell right away, but because of the sub, they didnt pursue looking for the ships crew.(Many of todays beliefs of what happened to the USS Indianapolis was that they're secret mission delivering the A-Bomb was unknown, and the ship didnt get out a distress signal). I always seem to cringe at the part in the movie "Jaws" where the captain says about the Indianapolis.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.1.32.193 (talk) 21:33, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I think after the archaeological center at the fort is established there could be substantial information on the fort itself and museum that will be too detailed for the general Cramond article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by BindingArbitration (talk • contribs) 22:43, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There could be a lot of information about Cramond Roman Fort, but at the moment there isn't. Usual policy is to merge articles until subsections become too large, then split to new articles. As it is, there is far more information about the fort within the main Cramond article, and its not overbalancing thee page, so the two should be merged, for now.

Talk:Dalmahoy

message: The article says that the house was sold to the Earl of Morton in 1750. However, in researching my family history, I've just come across an extract from a book published in 1923 (now out of print, I believe, and only available in the British Library) which contains the letters of an 18th century ancestor of mine who eloped and married on 1st December 1746, and in the first letter (dated 2nd December 1746) she tells her mother the following: "I have been for three weeks past at Dalmahoy, a House of the Earl of Morton's, with the housekeeper there, who is a good acquaintance of mine..." This suggests that the house may already have belonged to the Earl of Morton before 1750, unless of course he was renting it before he bought it – my ancestor may not have known whether it was rented or was his property. I don't understand how the citation button works but the book's details are here: https://www.worldcat.org/title/found-in-an-old-box-a-womans-ie-henrietta-greens-letters-of-the-eighteenth-century-edited-by-frances-fraser/oclc/560338449 
According to the following site, 1750 is only an approximate date: https://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB27021
