Welcome to our community, Alexander.

I have had a quick root around for your ancestors, but have, so far, not located them. I live not far from Stirling Castle, home of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, but family searches there are quite expensive. Did he serve in the Boer War?

Yours aye,

William

 
 
 

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
