Thanks for that 'Forfarian"

When Robert, my GG Grandfather  Passed in 1880 the newspaper obit said he was from Forfarshire so my hunt earlier was on, getting confused about Angus..
Paper said for "Scots papers please copy"
He was listed as a pensioner , so hence i am where  iam now,  finding out he was a trooper in the 1st Life Guards,
He was from Edzell..
Cheers

Hi everyone..

To everyone who took the time to help me in my quest to find my heritage I like to thank you for your imput.
I have now found that my ancestors are from Forfarshire-Angus living in the towns of Edzell,Brechin,Montrose.
As found it was a signature that helped with the clue as well as a newspaper clipping from 1880 in Tasmania..
I am humbled that you took the time to help another person.

Thank you
Mark Anthony Mitchell..Born in Tasmania..Ancestors from Scotland
