Charles' wife Mary Grant McBain died in Stirling in 1971 at the age of 92. No further surnames showing so likely she did not remarry after 1950 and husband Charles' death at the Asylum.

So, wife/mother Mary and at least Millicent look to have all been living in Stirling area from the late 1940s given we Millicent's marriage there in 1949.

Also, just found a likely death for Charles Jnr, birth year c. 1905, in 1987 in Stirling....

Monica,

I am simpy researching the individual soldier!

It is his service in West Africa that started me off.

I have another chap i am working on at the moment who as well as serving in West Africa in the late 1890s, also served during the Boer War (wounded at Spion Kop) and WW1!

I have found a relative of his who thinks she may have a photo!

I will keep you posted! :)
