Occupation	Wright

Notes:: Cunningham, Patrick, Wright Currie's Close, castle hill. (From Edinburgh Directory 1774-5)

From 1775-6 directory we have Cunningham, Peter, Wright Currie's Close, castle hill.
Also 76-77, 77-8

I think that these are indeed the same person.
He is not listed in the 1752 directoty.

Next generation - Cunningham, W and P, Goldsmiths, castle hill - 1778- 9 directory: this would be his sons.
(William C, Goldsmith, is witness to birth of a child (James Philp) of Marion C in 1779)
Note that in 1780-1 only William C. is listed as Goldsmith on castle hill.

But in 1782, listing is:
Cunningham, Peter, goldsmith, Nairn's close, castlehill
1783 same
Notes:: I had earlier considered it likely that Patrick Cunningham was son of John Cunningham and Marion Hill, b. 11 Dec 1720, St Cuthbert's.

However it seems most likely he was son of John Cunninghame and Jean Johnstoun of Corstorphine. John C. is described in the birth record as a brewer.
