Yes. Thank you very much. I have seen these but I don't think these are the Marion I'm looking for. I'm thinking the birth was not recorded.

Lanarkshire / Unregistered Births
« on: Tuesday 07 May 24 16:47 BST (UK) »
Would the birth of a child born in 1853, probably Coatbridge, to an unmarried woman be registered? Other family members' births are in the records of the Dunbeth Relief Church. I don not see this birth. A calculated birth date for "Marion Graham," based on being 81 years, 8 months and 21 days at death, is 19 or 20 September 1853. Although throughout her life, her birth is reported as 1855, 1857, 1869, and others. She emigrated, probably 1854, to the US and lived in the household of David Tait and his wife, Marion Pollock. They married in 1858 in NY. In censuses from 1880 to 1930, she is mostly listed as "Niece," but later shown as a daughter, or sister after David and Marion died. She is variously recorded as Marion or Minnie Graham and later Marion G. Tait. On either side of this family, I can find no female marriage to a Graham that would result in a Graham niece. I believe she is Marion's biological daughter. Thanks!

London and Middlesex / Missing: Thomas Robertson
« on: Tuesday 11 January 22 20:38 GMT (UK) »
What happened to Thomas Robertson? He was born 16 July 1874 Mile End Old Town; baptized 31 August 1874 at St. Philip, Stepney. Parents: William Cooke Robertson (1845-1897) and Janet Goodwin (1849-1927). He was alive when his father died 8 March 1897 but dead before 5 May 1914 when his sister removed his name as the lot owner/contact at Tower Hamlets Cemetery and said he was dead. Cannot see him in the 1901 or 1911 censuses; he is not buried at Tower Hamlets with parents and brother.

Wow! Thank you very much. I believe this is him. Wonder what the Arthur Roberts alias is all about? Thanks for your quick work!

Armed Forces / Rawalpindi, India - Somerset Light Infantry

Seeking information about A.R. Vincent, photographed by D.J. Divacha at Rawalpindi, India (now Pakistan) after 1899. Some of the folks at Facebook's UK Military, History/Military Genealogy and Military Photography group suggest he's a Lance Corporal in the Somerset Light Infantry. What records are available to identify him further? Thanks.

Lanarkshire / Re: Siblings Thomas (aka Duncan) and Mary KERR

These are good fits. A Mary Kerr died in Fintry January 21, 1846. Husband James. Maiden name Philips. I can see Philips now on Robert Kerr's marriage record to Margaret Galbraith for his mother's maiden name. Also, there is a marriage for James Kerr to Leonard (Lennie in the 1851 census) McCarey Oct. 19, 1849 in Fintry. Robert Kerr's first wife was Jane McKerrow, but written as McCarey on their marriage record. Maybe Lennie's part of the extended McKerrow group And then there's Mclaren as Lennie's prior husband, based on Peter Mclaren as step-son in the 1851 census. All good, but no closer to Thomas and Mary Kerr, children of Robert's first marriage...
