Family surnames being researched ...
Crawford, Neilson, Lindsay, Reekie, Davidson
Drummond, Laing, Pearson, Tulloch ... will do for starters but there's a whole lot more!

Further searches for "issue" can wait until I go over to Edinburgh again - the Scot in me hates wasting credits!  That said, the recent image posted here only mentions TWO children!
That's a relief, then :)
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

There is an entry on the register of soldiers effects on Ancestry that may fit. William Smith, sergeant in the Black Watch (Royal Highlanders) who died from wounds on 12/1/1918. Legatee was his widow Matilda.

Sorry to bother you again isobelw - could you send me a link for this please? I can't locate it  ::)

NO NEED - I'VE GOT IT
