Hello everybody  :).
For your information: We have found Donald Cameron. We have found that he was not in good health.
He died in 1960 in Helensburgh, Scotland and unfortunately he didn't get any children.
However we have managed to get in contact to on of his nieces.
Thank you for your help.
Best regards

Hi Pall Arni Joensen,

I am so pleased you have managed to find Donald.
What a shame he passed away when he must still have been a relatively young man - perhaps he was in poor health since his discharge from army.

Thank you for letting us Rootchatters know. I hope you get to meet his nieces and learn more about your grandfather.

Looby  :)

Echoing the others, so pleased for you especially as it all should have been unnecessary given the time lapsed & having his name & service no.  :(

I would like to know now, which was his birth, where & who were his parents?

Looks like you may have had to spend a lot of £s to finally nail Donald Cameron down, which again should have been unnecessary?

Hi Rosinish.
Donald Cameron was born in Urquhart, Inverness, April 17th, 1910. His parents were Peter and Jemima Cameron.
We are only glad that we got this far. the £s were used for a good purpose  ;) as nothing is free.

I could only see 1 for Urquhart who had a middle name of John?

Do you now have his service records & looking forward to researching the rest of your Scottish roots & are you planning a visit as you will not be disappointed  ;)

Could this be his parents marriage?

Yes his middle name was John, and that is his parents marriage. We have got his service records, and are now in contact to his relatives in Scotland.

Apologies if I'm not supposed to post in this thread. I just had a question. On page 6 of this thread a member called looby talked of Donald Cameron who died of polio. He was my grandfather. He died when my mum was 7. Ann his wife died when I was very young. And my mum died when I was 24.
I was wondering how you found out the information on my grandparents. We have looked but found little. Thank you for any help.
