The Kelman family

[Jake Kelman]

Bill

I believe that your wife Sheila was my cousin if her brother was named Alan and his mother was AKA Nancy, hence the the family names  big Nancy wife of Tommy and little Nancy wife of Georgie.(refered to their height)

Anyway if this is so my granfather died about 1946ish I dont know for sure the funeral was at St Bridgets I was only
5 but I attended against the wishes of the family sneaking in at the back. He was buried in Smithdown rd cemetery.

My grandmother survived a few more years and his buried with him

My father James second oldest always told me that my granfather spoke of Dunnoon and he did not speak much of his family
but his sister Jessie visited for a short while in the thirties. So it is possible he went south via there.
I hope this helps.

I would be interested to hear more on how you are going.

Jake,

Welcome to RootsChat, "The champagne of online family history sites" to coin a phrase.

Might I suggest that you put this reply on the thread that Bill posted on?  That way he will receive an email that someone has responded.  To find this note he will have to be actively looking for it.

Myt brother in law is XXX Kelman. I often heard about Tommy and little Nancy (nee Harris) was married to George Kelman (b1919) in Liverpool. They married in 1940 and had two children, but only XXX Kelman is still alive.   So your father James (b1912) is the brother of my late father-in law Thomas.  Can you help on tracing their father George (b1886ish) in Scotland.  I think I am on the right track, but have yet to get my information confirmed.

Regards

Bill Pearson

Hi!

Bit puzzled why Nick has put you onto this site which is mainly concerned with the Kelman family from Aberdeenshire.  I think you are looking for a Scottish
link to the Chisholms, unless of course you are somehow related, but I have yet to find the connection?

Come back to me if you think that our names are linked, otherwise good luck in your search
