Hi Steve,

Great to hear from you!

He is my great great great grandfather through his daughter Mary Bella Ross who married Samuel Garden. They lived in Peterhead all their lives.

Are you part of the family that moved to Glasgow??

What information do you require??

Thanks for the reply Michael.
Yeah James' son "Edward" is my great grandad. He was from Glasgow as was my grandad who then later moved to Brechin.
 So that must make us distant cousins. I recently found another distant cousin of ours "Traci" thats related through James and Williaminas other daughter Edith.
 Ive not long started my family tree so any info you have would be great.
Have you managed to find any photos, headstone pics etc.
 Its probaly easier to talk over email or even facebook if you have ?

I know these chats were years ago, but I’m so excited to find confirmation that my g g grandfather was in WW1. James Cooper Ross daughter Edith Ross had my Grandmother Gladys Ross in 1917. I found Williamina in the Gorbals with an adult Edith and her husband ( not my grannies dad) and wee Gladys at 4 ( 1921 census) but I was having a bit of difficulty with James although I do remember seeing an old pic of him in uniform when I was a child. Thank you all for all this hard work that has saved an amateur a tonne of research and a breakdown ! Now that I’ve found this site I am excited to carry on !

Hi Janet,

Great to hear from you. I have been able to obtain a photo of James Ross but it’s a rather poor one from a newspaper. It would be great if you were able to locate where the photos went down your family line.

There are a couple of Ediths in my line too. James’ daughter Mary Bella Ross (Mrs Garden) had an Edith, and my own gran was named after her.
