Bougie,
Yes, it is the right one. The address is correct. I meant they lived in Hawick ever after, not at Slitry Hard. That's terrific. I would love to see the photo if possible.
Thanks so much,
Stephanie

Yes, this is the same one - although there is a discrepancy of one day in the date of death. Helen Scott was my maternal grandmother - although Brown was the name of her second husband ie my grandfather (so I'm not sure why that later name would have been given too). Thank you! hmg

Bougie
If it is not too much trouble please can you look up the following in your book
James Haldane Graham,
John Graham and
Thomas Graham.
They were brothers and all members of the 1st Btn Black Watch. Sons of Lance Cpl Thomas Graham of 4 Drumlanrig Square.
James died in a Clearing Station in Pernes in 1918.
I believe that their brother in law Sgt Alex McGuire who died in 1914 was also from Hawick
Thank you for your help
Bernadette

Bougie,
Yes, that is them... Thank you so much for taking the time for looking them up for me.
You are most kind.
May I trouble you, to look up one last family member in your book please
Private - John Irving Wright Graham (Cameronians - Scottish Rifles) - Killed in Action - 23 March 1918 - aged 20 years
Parents - James Kennedy Graham and Catherine Wright.
This John Graham was the 1st Cousin of the Graham Brothers in your previous look-up.
Kind Regards
Bee Mack
