Hi,

I've read the Sunday Post article Monica linked to the other thread. A very interesting and poignant read.

There are several newspaper article published during the 1940-44 period which refer to the Lovat Scouts, some with photos, serving on the Faroe Islands. These can be read online in the British Newspaper Archive , for a charge of course, either subscription or a one off pay to view fee. I haven't got either so can only glean a snippet of info from a free search. Don't know if these would be worth looking at further.

Comments on that article from 'Anna' 
'In 1988 I traveled to Scotland with my father and I met Donnie Cameron, I believe we were in the area of Inverness.'
so still alive then.

This death?

Yes, I noticed that too, chempat.
I'm wondering if this lead was perhaps to the wrong man when this info wasn't shared on the initial post. This article also suggests that Donald was approx 23 years old - but the OP has now stated that this is not the case -so perhaps the "Donnie" mentioned was a younger man and ruled out.
Perhaps the OP will fill us in on the outcome of the info from "Anna" .

I am also curious about that 1993 death. Parents maybe a Simon Cameron and Janet/Jessie Ewing who married in Inverness in 1893. General details around to be able to flesh out this family. I think this is a mistranscript of the family in 1901:

Tomas Cameron 30 coachman b Inverness  - think should read Simon - (1)
Janet Cameron 33 b. Dumbartonshire (2)
James Ann Cameron 6 (3) b. Inverness
Hugh Cameron 5 b. Inverness
Thomas Cameron 2 b. Inverness (4)
Simon Cameron    9 months b. Inverness

Address: 15 Innes St, Inverness

(1) Possible for Simon born  9 October 1871 BOLESKINE, INVERNESS
Parents Hugh Cameron and Ann Fraser. A maybe for his death in Inverness aged 85 in 1957.

(2) I think this Janet was born on 4 February 1868 in NEW KILPATRICK, DUNBARTON
Parents Thomas Ewing and Jean Graham. Died in Inverness aged 75 in 1943.

(3) Showing as daughter

(4) Birth likely showing as Thomas Ewing Cameron on SP

There is a possible descendant of this family who is showing some very very basic details of this family group I think. Also shows:

Jessie b. 1902 - SP have the death in Inverness of a Jessie Bell Cameron, mother's maiden name Ewing, who died in 1974 aged 72

An Alexander b. 1904 - SP have the death in Inverness of an Alexander Allan Cameron, mother's maiden name Ewing, who died in 1978 aged 74

A Donald b. 1910 - As mentioned already. Although birth year marginally out.


So, as chempat and Looby mention, wondering whether the 1993 death cert has been checked?

Hi everyone.
Thank you for your interest in this case.
We have tried to send the death certificat of Donald Cameron b. 1907 d. 1993, son of Simon Cameron and Janet Cameron m.s. Ewing to the Army Personel Centre earlier this summer, and that didn't match eighter.

 Hi Pall Arni Joensen.

Can you tell us what came from the contact with "Anna" through the Sunday Post newspaper? Did she have news of Donald Cameron from circa 1988 or was it the wrong man?

What a frustrating search you have had for sure 

Of the Donalds you have researched to date, can you list for us which ones have been rejected and discounted following submission of the death cert? Will help everyone now too when searching.

Think this has already been asked. How did you arrive at the age range of 1908-11?
