Family History Beginners Board / LAUGHTON - Albert Edward & Charlotte
« on: Sunday 26 January 20 22:57 GMT (UK)  »
I have very little information other than :-

Associated with the city of Leicester and Rushden.
Albert & Charlotte Laughton had 7 children
Elsie
William
Albert Frederick (b 28/8/1897 England, d 20/8/1971 Australia)
Thomas
George
Walter
Olivia

Charlotte died in 1906.
Albert remarried in 1910 but I don't have these details.
I do not know anything at all about their children, other than a few details about their son, Albert.

Son Albert Frederick Laughton (my grandfather) was stationed at Valetts, Malta WWI, then France. After injury, he was at Maryhill Barracks in Glasgow.
He married Agnes Wallace McPherson in Maryhill, Glasgow on 14/4/1919.

Any leads appreciated.

Family History Beginners Board / McPherson - Campbell - (William Wallace)
« on: Saturday 25 January 20 01:48 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
My Grandmother, was Agnes Wallace McPherson (1894 (Scotland)-1965 died in Australia), daughter of Robert Henderson McPherson and Sarah McPhail Campbell. Sarah was from the Isle of Mull and they married in Maryhill, Glasgow.
Their other children were :-
Private James McPherson, ARG & SUTH'D HIGHRS, and KIA 30/9/1916, I'm told, on his 21st birthday.
Robert - disappeared during WWII and no-one seems to know what happened to him.

Agnes always proudly said that we are descended from William Wallace, & I would like to find out if this is true.

Agnes Wallace McPherson married Englishman (which was very controversial at the time!),  Albert Frederick Laughton on 14/4/1919 in Maryhill, Glasgow, where they lived until 1952 before emigrating to Australia.

I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the direction of where I could potentially find Wallace roots, if this is indeed true. I will be visiting Scotland in May 2020 & would love to have more information to enhance my trip. Thank you if you can help  :)
