Thankyou Forfarian. What a pal.  I will find him.  I will look at the Dumfries records.  So glad I came on to Rootschat again. Lots of dead ends everywhere else I looked. 🙋

Hi   It's not too clear for her maiden name. But it could be Dutton. Her father is Joseph Watson  :)

Thank you all for your info.  I will try and find Jane's death from this.  Joseph definitely got around yes.  In the note I have Jane and Joseph's daughter Helen had a lot of children, one being Jane D. Cowan. I believe the name has been passed down through the family as Dunstan.  Thanks again all for your speedy replies

Hi. Would appreciate any help to find where my great great grandmother and Grandfather are buried  A Joseph Watson b. 1809 in Aberdeen and a Jane Dunstan Watson b. 1805 from Banffshire I believe. I found Joseph in the 1871 census in Motherwell with his Daughter Helen but not Jane his wife. Had she died? Their daughter Helen was born in Edinburgh 1844.  Can anyone throw light on this for me? Many thanks .

Hi. My father served in the 1st Batallion of the Seaforth Highlanders. He went to Malaya 1946 probably from Fort George after training.  He served his two years and came back to Lanarkshire and met my mum. They married 1949. Trying to get his Service Record.  He played in a Band. He also spent time in a hospital out there after contacting Malaria. Any help would be appreciated in retrieving his record.  He died 40 years ago so sad only 48 years ago, but from his pictures out in the army he had a happy time with his mates :))
