WOWOWOWOWW

The kids are my cousins Pat and Dave they live in Oshawa and we still see each other once and a while...they are Victoria's kids!!!! I talk to Pat and Daves kids once in a while.

My Mother's family had a lot right next to the the one in the photo and she says that she was probably there at the time this photo would have been taken.

Who is the  other woman in the photo, if you know?

The woman in the backgroud is one of Beatrice's daughters..Ina (Catherine)

Amazing that this is all clicking into place. The older woman beside Kate is Mary McSporran on a visit from Scotland it was taken on Sunday  June 1st 1967.  When you say the woman in the background is one of Beatrice's daughters do you mean the one walking away towards the building?

[Torrie]

Mary-my mom says she knows that name...was she just a friend on Kate's??

...yes the woman walking away is Ina

Do you have any other photos of kate or the cottage ?? I'm wondering if you may have photos of my grandma or mother!!!

I don't know anymore about Mary I am afraid. I have other pictures from Canada but many are not annotated and I don't know who they are and are possibly from my Grandmothers side. I will go through them again and also check with my brother to see if he has anymore.

[Torrie]

that would be WONDERFUL!!!

I also have pictures..my mom said we would go through them and maybe send some to you if your interested...

this really is so exciting! I am the one who reaserches the family history but my Mom, her brother and many others love hearing about this stuff

Thank you so much!!!!

Hello all - congratulations on finding your link! 

I hate to dampen your enthusiasm but Rootschat doesn't allow posts about living people - nor photos - in order to protect their privacy and prevent identity theft.

You can post pictures of older generations though - or if you are comfortable to exchange email addresses, you can do that by Personal Message.

Let us know how you get on with the certificates - I can tell Monica et al are dying to continue the search!

Kind regards, Arranroots

Hi Arranroots

The ones sent are all deceased and I am mindful not to pass details of living ones. Torrie has my personal email address so she can use that for any photos. I am really grateful for the website as it has helped so my in my research.

not wishing to butt in but have you checked the Edinburgh Roll of honours list.  Because David Livingston/e is on there.  Does that not mean that they may hold information on his background and parents and whether he won a bursary to gain entrance etc.
