Fabulous thank you

[Dundee]

I have seen some family trees on Ancestry for Ethel's family.  You will need to have a look as it is all geographically complicated.  Alexander was in the Royal Engineers and worked for the ordnance survey.  They were in England, Scotland and Ireland - all census links are on those trees.
