The plot thickens!  I cannot find anyone called Gee or even Henry (or any variants) born in Scotland in 1852 or 1853.

Its a bit of a puzzle.  As you know, England is often used to describe the UK, but if he was born in England it would throw the story out since they couple apparently came from Scotland. Mary's date of birth is possibly going to give me the best lead.

Thats great Sandra!  Now that I have Kathleen, it should help tie them down, as well as that confirmation that Henry was English!  Great work!

Yes, I just found that too! No other Kathleens that seem to fit on the face of it.  I'll get the certificate and let you know what it says.

Sadly, its not them.  The parents were James and Margaret, although interestingly, James was a market gardener!  That might fit with the tree they brought to Arizona?!
