Aberdeenshire / Guidance - Mona Adelaide Ross
« on: Tuesday 09 August 22 16:10 BST (UK)  »
Is there a way of working backwards to find out the children of a mother?

After a family bereavement, there were a few loose ends that seemed to suggest that in the past there were more brothers / sisters.

The Mother was Mona Adelaide Shepherd (nee Ross) who passed away a good few years ago.  Born in Aberdeen and married in 1936, I can find 3 members but there may have been a forth.

Any suggestions as to how to find this or search?

Aberdeenshire / Elizabeth Cook Brannen
« on: Tuesday 31 August 21 10:58 BST (UK)  »

Hi all, looking for some guidance again....

Looking at the death of Edith Brannen in 1941, her mother is listed as Elizabeth Cook Brannen.  Unable to find out much about her. Cook was her mothers maiden name. Edith was born in 1935

Elizabeth may have had a shop at 15 Menzies Road In Aberdeen, although trying to find out what kind of shop it was and if this was Edith's mother.

Appears Elizabeth was a single mother, born in Aberdeen in 1900.

CAn anybody add anything to the above?

Aberdeenshire / George Maclellan
« on: Thursday 01 July 21 09:44 BST (UK)  »
George Maclellan was listed as staying at Dowalty In Crathes (Aberdeenshire) in 1940 age 17/18

I am trying to see if he is the same one that passed away in East Kilbride in 2012, as the year of Birth seems to tie in, he may have married in 1968 (but not listing his wife's name as she may still be alive, but may have passed away in 2016)

He would have been born 1933/34, and i see there is one listed in North Morar in 1934.


Looking to tie up the info that it's the same person from Dowalty in 1940
