Hi Teddy

It is lovely to hear from you. I have lot's of information that I am really happy to share with you. I also have all the family photo's. When my uncle John died I was lucky enough to be given a big bag of photo's. There is one problem though, they have no information on them but I cherish them not just for myself but for all of the family that are interested in our past. Not sure if admin will let me post my email but I will try it's . It would be great to speak to you so if you can email me I will give you my phone number.

Alison,

I think it's more because bots can pick up your email and start using it for spam that Admins ask you to remove it or amend it?

You might want to send it by PM and remove it from here?

Myself and other family members are looking for information on my Great grand father. His name was William Anderson, although he used the surname Reeves. Reeves was his mother's 2ND husband. He died in 1946 and was 71 at the time of death.  His father is stated as John Anderson and his mother is Elizabeth Reeves formerly Anderson and maiden name Fraser.

William left the family at a unknown age but maybe 11 or 12. This was due to his mother dying and his step father remarrying. He had a brother called John and there is possibly a sister called Robina. I'm wondering if anyone here can find anything. Thanks

Hi,

Were the family in Lanarkshire at the time of William's mother's remarriage?  I can't see a marriage in Scotland for an Elizabeth Fraser to a male Reeves.
The only marriage I have found between two people with those names is in Sprowston , Norfolk in England - an Elizabeth Frazer and a Charles Reeve (no s ) on 1 Nov 1876 (so not an impossible date).

Hi

There is a ton of background/extra information here on an old 2012 post, which is useful to this new topic and will save some going over of already known information:

Threads merged.

William REEVES/ANDERSON married in 1896 in Stepney, London to Frances Ada DINES.

His brother John, died 1904, Hamilton, Lanarkshire - I'm still reading thru the old thread.

Cheers

On Williams marriage cert he has an Edward Reeves stated as being his father.

I can't conform where she was living when she married Anderson or Reeves. I do believe William had roots in Glasgow or surrounding areas.

So, having read through the rest of the old thread....

You still need to establish if Elizabeth Frazer was ever married to either John Anderson or Edward Reeves.
You haven't found a birth for either John (jnr) or William Anderson.
You haven't found either on the 1881 or 91 Census.
You haven't found a death for Elizabeth Frazer/Anderson/Reeves.

Gosh, they are hiding well !!
