My granfather was born around 1895 ,his full name was william Jaffrey Crighton
my father william crighton (who by the way is famous in Greece since he wrote a greek english dictionary)was born in Dundee in 14/12/1923
Unfortunatelly I have no more details apart from the fact that my grandmother was Irish and her family name was cook
Thank you for all your help,will be really funny if we are related
If it is any help I think I have an uncle in Dundee who has a pub,his name is peter and has i think 2 daughters either solicitors or baristers
I think he had an accident in war world 2.My father was in the army in world war 2 as well and fought in Greece,italy and africa.In greece he met my mother
and he remained here until 1975.we returned in uk then and my family house is in Hertfordshire
I have my fathers brother and sister (thomas cook Crighton,and eliza crighton
still alive in lochee dundee but they are very old and cannot help me
Thanks again
