Hi all,
Looking for some help or tips. My grandad recently died and started his family tree tried for him before but he had no info but gained some from his death cert to get me started. He name was Robert Allan born 12th July 1924. His mother was Jane Cormack and his father Robert Allan.
Story my grandad told me was he was an orphan and ended up being fostered out and sent to a farm in Inverness as a child his sister Margaret was sent to work to work in a big house as he put it.
Anyway i have found his mothers death certificate she died December tenth 1928 but the father was still alive Robert Allan although my grandad was told he died first and was murdered being hit outside a pub. Also i have found his parents marriage cert. they were married 16th April 1920 his parents Thomas Allan and agnes Allan. Her parents James Cormack and Johan Cormack. Seems her father died in the first world war. Found their wedding cert married 9th November 1900.
Several viewings of various Robert Allan deaths and many Scotlands people credits spent. Looking for more advice or help. Also my grandad was held at the Royal Infirmary with his sister a few years in a possible children's home or workhouse situation, sorry his memory was sketchy understandably so i suppose as he was 4 when his mum died. Thanks in advance feel its a tribute to him doing this :-)
