We are looking for a James Brown who joined the Gordon Highlanders, maybe in WW1

Hello,

At the risk of the obvious.

Do you have date/place of birth.  Names of parents/siblings. Was he married - did he survive the war?  What information do you know, and what information do you require.  The more info you provide, the more help will be forthcoming.  Regards,   Steve   :O)

Thanks for replying. If you search for Gordon Highlanders we have 2 headings 1. Do you know these soldiers? and 2. Chiseldon Army Camp. We do not know what part of Scotland he came from but we are awaiting his RASC / fusiliers service record from Glasgow which hopefully may have his G. Highlander records which may show us his parents and location in Scotland. He was apparently a renouned Baker/Confectioner and we think he may have headed an exhibition in London.

When was your James Brown born?  Were his father and grandfather confectioners as well?  Was there a bakery known as the Queen's bakery in Aberdeenshire?  I am related to someone who apprenticed in 1800's to a James Brown (at least that is the way I remember the information I have).  I would appreciate any information that you can share.  Thanks.

Sorry not your James Brown, we have found ours he was born in Lymington, Hampshire, to scottish teachers who came down south, on the 1891 census he was apprentice to James F Mellor a baker & confectioner in Lancashire, who also was scottish. Good luck with your search.
