Hi Reggie,
I don`t really know at this stage if there is a connection, but if you would like to take a look at my family history website, perhaps you may see one? if you do, I would be delighted to know of it, the number is
www.tribalpages.com/tribes/jarvisbarrPlease let me know if you find one, as you will see from it, my father was the illegitimate son of Christina McCulloch(her photo is on the website) and as I never knew about this until starting to research my side of the family, I have no one to aske about any details, I never saw any of my father`s relatives after he died (in 1941) my mother made sure we lost all contact, obviously she must have been afraid that I would find out the true circumstances of my father`s birth.
My parent`s marriage cert is false in that my father declared Christina to be the wife of James Barr (I spent many hours looking for that marriage which did not exist!)
I fully understand though, why my father would hide the fact that he was illegitimate, in his time it would have been a barrier to him, especially as he became a church elder!! but I cannot understand why my mother would not have let her family know the truth when we grew up, but then she was a bit Victorian in her outlook I`m fraid.
Have a look anyway at the details and let me know what you think
Maud
