James Rae had an uncle named James born about 1838. Ann McIver had 6 siblings: William, Thomas, Duncan, John, Charles and Helen. The only one I could find anything on is Thomas who was married to a Margaret and 4 children that I know of. Margaret Whyte Rae married George Carrie and had 10 children: Isabella, George, Charles, Jane , John, Mary, Joseph and David. I know that's a lot of names but any of the names would help. I appreciate your help. Thank you.
Sue

Hi Denny,
Interesting about George Michie. It's possible that it 'might' be my great grandfather. I found him listed in the profession of 'railway surfacer'. He was born in 1866, and was listed (maybe in the 1901 census) as living at 30 Logie Street, Angus, Arbroath, Arb, Scotland. His wife was Isabella D. Lawrence (Michie), who was born in 1868. Maybe they lived at 27 Leonard Street before moving to Logie Street?? I believe they moved to Dundee at some point.

Dear Derek,
I wonder if you can help me find a relative that was resident at 42 Wilkes Lane, Dundee in 1926 to 1929. Her name was Sarah Donnelly, born 1904 in Glasgow to a Hugh Donnelly and Sarah Donnelly. The last thing i have traced her to is on her mothers death certificate (the mother Sarah lived and died in Glasgow) giving 42 Wilkies Lane as her address, which is strange because it is a church (st Josephs). I thought perhaps she may be listed in the yearbook you mention. Any information or suggestions i would be very grateful.
Carolyn

Denny,
Yes, you're absolutely right.....I looked it up, and it is in Dundee. I found out that my Michie great grandparents lived in Arbroath, and alot of the children were born there, but they moved to Dundee, so this makes sense. Thanks for getting back to me.
Exciting new.....I've talked with my father's cousin, his mother's brother's daughter, who is a year younger than my father....83 yrs old. She's lovely, and funny too, and is so excited that we're in touch. Her daughter is also interested in Ancestry research, so is very happy that I found them.

Carolyn,
I have just found my father's cousin (my grandmother's neice) who is 83 years old and living in Dundee, where she lived as a little girl. I will write her and ask if she knows of a 42 Wilkies Lane if you like. She was born in 1925, but her parents were born in 1894. I found all my information thru British Ancestry.

Dear Susan,
Thank you very much, any help will be very welcome as i have come up against a brick wall at the moment. 42 Wilkes Lane is st Josephs Church and Sarah Donnelly (my relative) lived there in 1926-1929 with a Catherine Murphy and a Mary Hickey. There was also 4 priests living there also so the women were either housekeepers or trainee teachers at a guess. I have written to the church to see if they have any record of her, but have had no reply.
kind regards Carolyn
