Family History Beginners Board / Stewart Leslie Phare
« on: Sunday 10 April 16 10:32 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for further information about this cousin of my grandfather's.  Stewart L Phare was born 1896 to Percival Rowe Phare and Amy (nee Whybrow).  Stewart served in WW1 and may have survived.  He had unmarried sisters Eva Phare (1890-1945), Inez Evita Phare (1892-1974) and Madelaine Phare (1893-1969).  He also had one brother whose family I know about, so I am not searching for details.

Dumfriesshire / Wilkin of Caelaverock
« on: Monday 07 March 16 12:14 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find out more about the mother, siblings and ancestors of Thomas Wilkin.  He was born in 1801 at Netherwood, Dumfries, the son of James Wilkin, farmer at Bailicknow, Caerlaverock and his wife Elizabeth.  Thomas went on to become a surgeon.  I already have Thomas's wife's (Bridget Pennington) and their children's details.  His father was related to the Wilkin family of Tinwald Downs and the Carlyle family, but what the connection is I don't know.

Other Countries / William Tourney Brown b 1857, Glasgow. Madras marriage 1897
« on: Monday 07 March 16 12:01 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to discover more about William's 2nd marriage.  His wife's name was Adeline Sophia Woods Scawen.  All I can gather is she was a widow and related by marriage to the father of the famous Woods Scawen WW2 pilots.  She may have been Anglo-Indian. William was a Theosophist with connections in London, Madras and Boston (USA).
