COMRIE birth

[aakarlhamo]

The marriage for Bertha's parents I think was showing for 1904 in Dunfries.

I wonder about this entry as a possibility for John Comrie, Bertha's father. Note the name of a sibling, Angus McGregor Comrie.

Peter Comrie 48 plumber b. Crieff, Perthshire
Isabella Comrie 49 b. Irvine, Ayrshire
John White Comrie 17, woolen mill worker b. Crieff, Perthshire
Angus McGregor Comrie 15, woolen mill worker b. Crieff, Perthshire
James Milligan Comrie 11 b. Crieff, Perthshire
Maggie Robertson Comrie 6 b. Langholm
David Clark Comrie 7 b. Langholm

Address: 34 Factory Entry, Langholm, Dumfriesshire

A stage at a time though....

Me again Monica,

Just looking at this, is it a census?  I wonder if the Roeber, McGregor and White middle names are grandparent's names as they all seem to have odd middle names? 
Intrestingly, there is a villiage called Comrie just down the road from Crieff

I wonder if there is a Will for Bertha, are there any Scottish records that can be checked for this

Hello Margp,

The death date you gave for Bertha Roeba Mobbs/Comrie, 1988, age 74 years, her mothers name is Morrison, on that index, which concurs with marriage information on your earlier post.

Almost certainly the correct lady given the names concerned.

Regards,
Jonn.

I would think there could be a will because her husband Lionel Mobbs was a fruitier and greengrocer in Cricklewood.  Bertha was a chairman, A E Jackman (holdings) Ltd but it was dissolved abt the time of his death.  Maybe the company was in connection with Lionel's business? A search for the company revealed it was based north of Moffatt.
