Oh well done Looby, yes I am certain that has got to be Alfred .... surname mis-spelt as Wiles instead of Wills.  Now, where has his brother Wm got to?

Thank you so much.  One down, one to go!

 It's  spelt  Willis   on  another site ,  so that's  another    version of the  name to look for  William !

Just a small house?! 13 bedrooms, 4 Sitting Rooms!
Head of house was Gertrude, Countess of Moray ;D

I never cease to be amazed and thankful for the help given by rootschat members.  Thank you so much K and Jan57.  That's another two bio's completed on my list of nearly 200.  Yes, 200 in total for all my parishes put together.  The good thing is, it doesn't matter how long it takes, the information will still be there next year!

If anyone is still looking in Scotland, stop!

Ever grateful,

LC

Good,
Didn't think when they would be on the Scottish Census when I noticed they had signed up for Dorsetshire Regiment. Seemed more likely they had always been in Dorset.
Are you researching local war memorials?  Good luck with your searches. :)
