Adopted son J. A. Galdemar Dunn with McKay family

[brigidmac]

John Hogg Cosser Galdemar

Gives a good clue to who his biological father may have been
From his name

Jane  Cosser Dunn Galimar never remarried  and stayed with her family in Edinburgh
1891 with mother

I901 with sister *. 

Correction you are right that Jane has different initials

[brigidmac]

I think John McKay apprentice tailor age 19 in 1901

Is Jean Anatole

Can't find any other possible births to
Neil McKay and Jean Sneddon

[Forfarian]

Jane  cosser Dunn or Galimar never remarried  and stayed with her family in Edinburgh as a milliner and dressmaker
1891 with mother 1901 with her sister

A Jane Galdamar died in Edinburgh in 1893, aged 41.

Thanks Forfaren ...I think the 1901 was wrong lady

I said passing of as widow because no evidence that they actually married

I found a record for Jean Anatole senior s father registering with freemasons I'm Mauritius in 1881

The family certainly don't seem to have any more births or deaths after 1883

I didn't find the other 4 Galdemar baby deaths ...would be interested to know their names

I am now in contacted with a member of Dun family who had the photo of Jean Anatole Galdemar and

And I got on Mauritius link
Found a marriage for him in 1877 to Louise Marie Angeline CANDIN

I'm not sure about his death ...I wonder if second wife informed Janet

http://www.cgmrgenealogie.org/actes

I think his father was Victor and mother julie Dumont

The other couple in Edinburgh were his brother and sister in law

I'm going to transfer this topic to immigrants and emigrants forum as a family is building up
Someone else may find the research useful

I didn't find the other 4 Galdemar baby deaths ...would be interested to know their names

 - references to his death which took place in South Africa, the "Virginia" mentioned I think is in the area of Durban, Natal, not in the US as it has been indexed.

Thanks again Forfaren I had another go and found them
Marie clemance and Marie Clementina are probably the same girl

I noticed they are registered in different district to Gabriel have used all my credits for now on SP

Jorose that is wonderful and there is a reference to doctor DRUMAR which could be his mother uncle or maternal grandfather .either way.confirms mother's name
# Reread it says he dedicated his thesis to Dr and Mrs DRUMARD (their nephew)

+ I got the Paris death from  Jean Anatole juniors birth record
But this is more reliable i will change it now on tree

Dr DROMART 9 boulevard St. martin
