Hello,

I would like to learn more about my Scottish ancestors.

The Weirs appear to have links to Hay Hill Farm, Cadder and Barmulloch Farm, Glasgow which I am keen in hearing more about.

I am looking for information on their wives, children and any addresses they're linked to.

I believe William Findlay Weir was a Scottish professional footballer and later joined the Royal Engineers where he was posted to the Western Front. William rose to the rank of Sergeant and I am interested in hearing more about his military career.

New Spynie, Moray, Scotland, United Kingdom


George Weir Anderson (15 June 1889-1944)

John Anderson son of George Weir Anderson married Sarah Nimmer Hood Stewart on the 5th of October 1939 in the District of Blythswood in the Burgh of Glasgow. He was 27 years old at the time. John's profession was listed as 'Leading aircraftsmen, Royal Air Force' and his usual residence was listed as 'Royal Air Force Station, Montrose'.

On the 10th of September 1944 John and Sarah had a baby (now deceased). At this time, John's occupation was listed as a 'Sergeant, Royal Air Force' and his usual residence was listed as '169 Shamrock Street, Glasgow', which I believe were barracks.

Kind regards

Good afternoon,

I have previously visited RootsChat to search for information on my great grandfather John Anderson* and am now searching for another family member. I am now looking for my grandfather either known as Liu H Kven or Hing K Liu. Liu married my grandmother Doreen Anderson in East Ham in 1964, in the same year my mother was born.

* I have been unsuccessfully in obtaining information on John's birth and death as well as his service records, if you think you might be able to help me please take a look at my previous post:

Hi,

What details should I first obtain before endeavoring to search for somebody in the immigration records?

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

My mum lived with her mother as a child (although she was in and out of care during this period) and has never met her father. When her mother died she went to live in a children's care home. My mum would really like to find out some information about her father and grandparents on both sides of the family but doesn't know where to start.

We have very limited information to go on however we do have a copy of her mother's death certificate and marriage certificate.

The information I currently have is provided below -

Her mother's full name maiden and married name
Her mother's date of birth
Her mother's date of death
Her mother's place of birth
Her mother's place of death
Her mother's last address
Her father's full name
The date that her mother and father got married and the district of London that they were married in
Both of her parent's father's name and surname
Her parent's residence at time of marriage

If anybody could steer me in the right direction as what to do next that'd be great! It may also prove useful to know that my mother's father is a Chinese immigrant and her mother originally from Scotland.

Kind Regards,

T Gill
