re : Alexander Duncan Robertson Cordiner,  My grandfathers sister was Ann Noble Cow (known as Annex) b 11 July 1874  married George Cordiner b 19 Oct 1870 on 7 Sept 1893, I think they and family emigrated circa 1927 to Canada although I was always led to believe Nellie stayed in PHD married to Colvin, i think Alexander may have been commonly known as Duncan ????

another reason for this message, I am trying to get in touch with Dave Cordiner, the usual email he had "dactruth ???"  seems to be dead............I think his grandfather was David Cow Cordiner ?
