Hi Janda Yes that is grandad's photo. My aunt had it and as you can see the original was very deteriorated. I have looked a few times on the Lost Diggers facebook and have seen a lot of the same photos each time while looking for new ones. It would help if they were catagorized:) It would make...

Hey Steve, the Steel Family Tree on Ancestry is mine. I have really got stuck on Donald John Maclean MacInnes' fathers death date and also where and when his sister Catherine Jane 'Jeannie' died. Finding this information for Mum and her brothers and sister would answer some questions for them...

Hi everyone Wow! thanks for all the info. I did see a census with the Hounsom name and I noticed that John Foot was born before Henry and Annie married so is it the her second marriage? It is Nellies (Winifred Nell Banyard) parents I am interested in so if that is the case then who is her...

I am looking for any information/records about Donalds time in the Seaforth Highlanders. He was my grandfather and I only found out a couple years ago (from his obituary given to me by rellies) about him being in the first world war. He apparently put his age up I think to get away from home. I...

Hi Ozn I have checked that one and it isn't the right one. My Mum had the impression that she was a few years younger than my Granddad and he was born in 1898. It is frustrating that the next census isn't out until next year as I am sure this would at least give us the area they lived in and...

Hi Oz Grandads full name was Donald John Maclean MacInnes. His mothers name on marriage cert is Jeannie Maclean. She went by Maclean MacInnes when she was married. I found her listed as Jessie on another tree and this was where I found Catherine Jane as grandads sister. Previous to this we only...

Hi Ozn It was from a local Australian newspaper and that was the only info it gave. Another rellie from my grandmothers side had it in her book and I have just recently been in contact with her so she sent me some stuff from her book relating to this side of the family but that was the only...

Hi everyone I am looking for a second marriage for Jeannie/Jane/Jessie. It is very confusing with the name changes in Scotland. Jeannie was my grandfathers mother but I have found her referred to Jessie on another tree and her mothers name was Jane. She was the daughter of John MacLean and Jane...
