I know I am very late to the party, but I've just come across this thread & thought I'd add my 2c.

The distant cousin's message in the original post mentions Mary Findlater, I'm pretty sure she has followed the wrong Ann Henderson to get there.

My great-grandmother was also an Anne Henderson. She was born b ca 1853 in Premnay to Arthur Henderson & Janet Tough. Arthur's mother (Anne's grandmother) was Mary Findlater b 1766 in Oyne, her mother was Jean Watt, daughter of George.

To add to the confusion my Anne also died in 1923, but in Forglen, Banffshire, she had married John Fraser in Banff in 1883.

I have used BDM certs, census, monumental inscriptions & parish registers to follow this line.

Hopefully this might help clariify and/or eliminate some names.

Helen

Another Tough descendant here (through Janet TOUGH, 1810-1856, daughter of George TOUGH & Jean STEPHEN, and wife of Arthur HENDERSON).

Just to say that the Aberdeen & NE Scotland Family History site has the index to their published MI's available to everyone on line, and for members of the society there is also access to the unpublished MI's.

Forfarian-I have a couple of Waddell's but none that married a Boyd at that time.

There is John Waddell who married Helen Cleland (nee Buchanan, ~1810-1864) and had a daughter, Margaret Waddell in 1843 in Kilsyth.  (Helen later married James Boyd in Kilsyth in 1846, and they were the parents of John Boyd (1847-1905) Chief Constable of Glasgow Police)

The other is Jeanette Waddell (1811-1899) from Whitburn, Wln, daughter of George Waddell & Catherine Calder. Jeanette married Peter Shanks of Slamannan Sti, and in 1835 they emigrated to the USA.

Thanks for all the information, I have found his medal card-no MM mentioned. Ah well, just keep looking.

Over the years we have been able to get our submariners service record and some photos.

I realise I've come late to the party, but I wonder if you are able to find anything on George/Robert ROY.
This is taken from the Morayshire Roll of Honour

"ROY, Robert George. No 17910, Sgt., 2nd Seaforths; born at Parish of Drainie, 15 Sept 1880; Joined at Glasgow, 4th August 1914.; served in France and Salonica; six times wounded; awarded M.M. Son of George Roy, 259b High St, Elgin. Occupation; dock labourer."

but I can find no further military information. His parents were George ROY & Mary GORDON, married November 27 1886.

I see you are interested in the K Class submarines, my grandfather's brother, James McLennan, was a stoker on the K3. Having read the "K Boats: Steam-Powered Submarines in World War I" by Don Everitt I think he could be excused just about everything.
