Hi Wolfie,
I think you might be right and perhaps we should not be beaten on this one.
I agree with you in thinking that there is little doubt that Cecil Abbott Thomson is David's Father.
I think I was just feeling a little disappointed that it was starting to feel to me like we RootsChatters (including Karytay) were more interested in this thread than Karytay's friend. This was because of little feedback from friend on finds/leads and what with the goal posts seemingly keep shifting regarding the certificate due to friend being too busy.
However, I concede it may be hard to get a true impression of what is going on when we are only communicating on-line. Milliepede found the birth information for Cecil and David. Personally, I would have been delighted by this but there doesn't appear to be any feed back on this. Perhaps Karytay may not have told her friend about this yet though and this is why no acknowledgement has been conveyed by friend as yet? It might not be a lack of interest on own thread?
Wolfie, I am as intrigued as you are as to why Annie is there and then disappears. I also would like to know why they did not marry in a time when this would have been expected (parents of two children). I wonder if she was married to someone else or if her family did not approve of Cecil, or perhaps or vice versa.
I am also like you and some others on here that like this kind of a challenge.
When I am finished my run of nightshifts and brain more in gear (when less tired) I will have a good look at the leads you and Milliepede have presented and see what I might be able to check out at my end.
