Hi, my husband is David Phimister,  he is a descendant of Robert Phimister and Msrgaret Dunbar.  His great great Grandmother was Florence Phimister, she had a son Jack Mackenzie Phimister.  His father was Jack Mackenzie but Florence married Alexander Grant. Her son Jack Mackenzie Phimister seems to have dropped Mackenzie name.  Would you happen to know what happened to Jack.  All we know he was born in 1911, he had a son Jack Gordon Phimister which is my Husband's father.  Also my husband David would like to talk with you if you are related.

I have tried all of the UK for wedding of Jane and Robert and all the UK for their deaths without any luck. I think you may be correct and they never married.

I think my orginal post with "From the LDS website Jane was born in Comber and from Army records James was born in Newtonards" should be "From the LDS website James was born in Comber and from Army records James was born in Newtonards".

This is an update to what I know now.

My great grandfather was baptised JAMES McDOWELL on the 5th April 1846 in St Mary's Comber.
His mother was JANE McDOWELL, she was single when he was born.
When he joined the army in 1864 he gave his name as JAMES PATTERSON with his next of kin given as mother JANE (No surname) and his place of birth as Newtownards.
He was married in Colchester in 1876 and gave his father as ROBERT PATTERSON (deceased butcher).
He died in Glasgow in 1915 and the death certificate gives his father as ROBERT PATTERSON (deceased butcher) and his mother as JANE PATTERSON (deceased) maiden name McDOWELL.
I assume that Jane and Robert married after James’ birth but I can find no record of it, nor can I find any record of their deaths, I don’t even know if Robert is James’ natural father, so any help would be much appreciated.

I would love to find more about James' parents but I can find no record of a marriage between Jane McDowall and Robert Patterson.

Hi
Janet Shearer is my first cousin x3 removed.
Her grandfather John Shearer 1798 - 1866 is my 3rd great grandfather. I know his parents were George Shearer and Mary Park but that is as far back as I have.
If you have anything you could share I would be grateful for it.
Thanks
