Lanarkshire / Re: Looking for Ewart
« on: Monday 28 August 17 19:16 BST (UK)  »
Thank you Monica and Carole : v touched by your support .
The only information comes from a conversation with an elderly aunt.
I would say the certainties are that he was in a kilted regiment stationed at Redford . ( Cameron Highlanders were stationed there at that time ) He was from Lanarkshire with an older sister called Bridget . This was in 1928 . The name is not on the birth certificate. He called himself Ewart but there is no suitable candidate on Scotlands people.
He marched " in front of his men " so I assume he was a Lance Corporal .
Do you think Edward might have been pronounced Ewart ?
I so wish I had asked more questions when I had the opportunity .

Yes, I have wondered about this family before . Could the Edward be Ewart ?
There was , ahem , a baby issue . I'm the granddaughter.
Bridgeton might have been more of a village in those days ?
Bridget worked in a cotton mill .
I've found a Hugh Graham and Minnie Ewart on Scotlands people but can't see their children .
Going to write to the Regimental Museum .

Thanks for looking Monica & Carole.
I don't think this is the man .
Suspect Ewart was a second name. He was from a village near Glasgow with
" Bridge " in the name . ?? Bridgeton .
Born about 1900 and probably in the Second Batallion Cameron Highlanders

It's a long shot
Looking for Ewart Graham. Probably ex Queens Own Cameron Highlanders where he was known
as " Gyp "
He had an older sister called Bridget .
Last heard of at Redford Barracks in Edinburgh 1928 .
From Lanarkshire possibly Bridgeton .
Does anyone have any information ?

Lanarkshire / Re: Docherty...a bric wall.

Hi ,
I stumbled across this post while researching Edward Grahames from Coatbridge , another son of Mary- Ann and Joseph Grahames. His sister Bridget was married to a Docherty ( found on Scotland's People )
Edward lived until 1976. I wondered if he was in the Seaforth Highlanders ?
