Reid/Moir Family Greenock

[explorer57]

Hi Ann , yes I think  I got the information from Adelene who I found through a Greenock site.
Thanks for all your help.
Get confused with the Lena name .
My great granny was Rosina Magdaline Specht but took the name Roberts when her mum married
On my G granny's death certificate it states mothers name as Rosina Magdaline Specht afterwards Roberts.
So was this Lena/Lina there is a ? that she may have used the name Moyer/muir instead of Specht due to being in Greenock during the war..
Edward Alexander Roberts was my grannys (Rosina) half brother ....... sure confuses me lo. x

Hello Rosina,
All these Lenas and Rosinas do get very confusing. I wonder if Johanna was married 2 or 3 times as I have 3 surnames for her. If you do find any more about her I would be very interested to hear
Regards Ann
