My husband's grandfather died on 29 July 1918 and is buried in Rapiere Cemetery, Villemontoire, near Soissons, France.    This year we visited many memorials in France and also some cemeteries.   We visited Thiepval, where the cemetery consists of British soldiers at one side and the other side is for French unknowns.     The memorial is a vast structure and it's a very poignant place.    We recently discovered that my husband's grandfather's older brother died from wounds in 1916.    We have no knowledge of his resting place.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.    I take it that John Tait Nimmo was the brother of William Tait Nimmo (my father-in-law's grandfather.    Sorry I'm new to this and don't know what pm means.   Can you help me?

Hi

I am researching my husband's family tree (Nimmo).   I have a orbituary notice from an Australian newspaper re. William Tait (Tate) Nimmo who emigrated to a town called Bunbury around 1908.   He was born in Glasgow in 1882 and died at age 48.    I believe he was my father-in-law's uncle (his father was called John Archibald Nimmo and also born in Glasgow) and another brother called John Nimmo, who was born in the Parish of Row, Dunbartonshire and his parents were William Tait Nimmo and Christina Marshall Brock.   John Nimmo and Mary Kyle were the parents of William Tait Nimmo, who was married to Christina Brock.   Unofortunately, the family members all seem to have the same Christian names, so I am having difficulty reconciling who is related to who!    If anyone has any info that would help me I would be most grateful.
