Looking for william Rae
« on: Saturday 13 February 10 19:12 GMT (UK) »
Trying to find any trace of William Rae born 1883 in Hawick Scotland, son of Robert Rae and Margaret Wright.

Found a post on ancestry library edidion (which annoyingly will not let me reply to) which says he died in Toronto in 1928, informant Margaret Rae wife.

William was my gt grandmother's younger brother and to date is one of only two siblings out of nine (sister Georgina also emigrated to Canada) who remain unaccounted for and I haven't managed to contact any descendants of or fill in any details of their adult life.

Can anyone help?

xx

Hello Thisty,

I have found marriage and death information for William Rae.  Please pm your email address and I will send it to you.

You can check the 1911 Canada Census for free at automatedgenealogy.com.  Use the split-screen to see the actual page image.

I will check the passenger lists to see if I can find him emigrating to Canada.

Cheers from Susan
