so do I take it that james married twice?and i am related to both sides of the family. as robin campbell is the daughter of the chief of the clan campbell,maybe you can find out for me something on my laidlaw side of my family. such as on colonsay there is a mentionon the cemetaph werethe ferry used tocome in before they sta, his name is started building s bigger port/ferry terminal around the back of the island his name is peter laidlaw,I wnt to find out if he ws born there if so who tobecause as far as i a aware all of our famiy .nopeter mentioned anywhere amongst themwere all born on the mainland, but this one ismentioned as though he fought smewherrcame or lived there and was buried there somewhere in the church grounds as thoughhe belonged there, Imut sfmit that maybe he was an objevtor didnt want to fight and moved there so no-one would know where he was ,but then how did he die and to be remembered that way as though he cme from the island and fought for his country, all my family are johns(my grt granfather fought in india during the uprising, I nearly had an argument with jimi1 for on thing he called me marciawhich i am not.
then he said i was getting confuse between the boer war and the firt world war which I wasnt. my grt grandfatherwas in 18th hussars cavalry, lat but ot lea he stateed he couldnt have won the bar ad rose for gallantry because it isnt registered st the aldershot barracks nothing there mentions a john laidlaw being awarded any such medal, for a start he would have reported to the queens holy rood house palace in edinburgh whose name i cant remember, due to my stroke androbert jimmi or james and alexandertheir first son was john walker laidlaw but he was found dead on the night of theirfirst anniversary.
