Thanks for reply CaroleW. I wasn`t sure which site would be the best one to put it on. There could be family still left in Ireland or Notts, hopefully.

Lanarkshire / Flora Lindsay McManus.
« on: Wednesday 08 August 18 14:11 BST (UK) »
Some time ago I posted a picture of a young girl that I wished information on. I now believe her to be Flora Lindsay McManus b.1905 in Ireland. d. 2000 in England. Does this fit in with someones family? The picture taken in 1918 shows the girl holding my Father. This would make her around 13. Does this look about right? Any information given would be most helpful. Thanks, Graham.

I thought it could be short for Robert as well, as the last two letters are set higher up than the others. Strangely a few lines further down Robert has been written out in full in another entry.

Thanks for the reply. In Scotland you can visit the local Register Office & do a Family Search in which you can view the details of death etc. I thought it might be the same system in England. Obviously not. Many thanks, Graham.

Many thanks for your kind offer. If possible could you give me information on the following person:-
Alexander Ross b 28 Jul 1883, Dallas, Morayshire, Scotland.
died 11 Jan 1945, Castleton, Rochdale, Lancashire, England.
Married to Catherine Caskie, 12 Jul 1918, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
I`m not sure what info is given on English death certs. If you can provide place & cause of death etc that would be great.
Many thanks, Graham.

Thanks joboy, I remember being told by my mother that my father brought home a small wood lathe & proceeded to fashion a table lamp on it. Unfortunately she had just finished her Spring cleaning. As my mother never swore I wonder if she made an exception that day?

Thanks for replies. I only know that he was a wood turner. No idea what kind though. I just wondered why he went to Rochdale. Possibly he changed his line of work.
