My great grandmother was Christina R. SEIVWRIGHT, born 1882 in Cullen,
Banffshire, Scotland to Alexander SEIVWRIGHT & Ann GORDON.
I have just discovered that before she was married to my
great-grandfather, she had a son illegitimately. His name was (is?)
Alexander Sievewright CUMMING (the father was William Brodie CUMMING
born 16 May 1874 in Fordyce, Banff, Scotland to George CUMMING &
Margaret STEVENSON). Alexander was known as "Sandy" and he was born 13
September 1902 at Seafield, Rathven, Banffshire. I had always just
thought that "Sandy" was the long-lost older (full) brother of my
grandfather, therefore had the BARRON surname.
Christina married Alexander Walker BARRON on 2 June 1905 at Rathven,
Banffshire and they had several children, including my grandfather,
George Brian Tore BARRON, born 24 December 1914 in Pennan Village,
Aberdour, Aberdeen.
Alexander Walker & Christina R. (Seivwright) BARRON and all of their
children, except "Sandy" left Scotland and settled in Toronto, Ontario,
Canada about 1922/23.
They kept in touch with "Sandy" until the years during WWII, when they
lost contact.
If anyone has any info at all on my grandfathers long-lost
half-brother, or how I could go about finding what happened to him
please contact me.

Thanks!

My Grandfather was born in Pennan, Banffshire, Scotland in 1914 and came
to Canada with his parents and all but one of his siblings (as well as
other family members) in 1923. His oldest brother, "Sandy" BARRON (I
assume his first name was Alexander....?) stayed behind in Scotland and
kept in touch with the family until the years during WWII, then they
lost contact. We assume he died in WWII, although no one was ever
notified of his death. We don't even know 100% if he even fought in
WWII. We also don't know if he had a wife/fiancee or any children.
"Sandy"/Alexander would have been born (I assume) after  the marriage
of his parents Alexander Walker BARRON & Christina R. SEIVWRIGHT in June
1905 at Rathven, Banffshire, Scotland and the birth of the next sibling,
John "Jock" Walker BARRON c.1909. His birth is not listed on Scotland's
People.
Does anyone have any advice as to how I could track down ANY
information on him, anything about his life and most importantly waht
happened to him?
I really hope to someday figure out this mystery, before my father's
generation get too much older (my dad is the "baby" of the family at 57,
but a lot of his cousins are in their 60's and 70's).

Thanks!!
