Post by: snowolf on Friday 26 June 09 06:19 BST (UK)

Hi  :D,
I'm looking for decendants of "David Irons Blacklaw" who was killed in 1916 WW1.
Apparently his brother "Peter" emigrated to Canada.
their mother was mary Blacklaw. (jute weaver)
Last known address in 1901 was 11 pitalpin st. Dundee.

thanks ,
Snowolf

My grandmother's diary has several Blacklaws mentioned and I have no idea why. Her Name was Eliza Ann Clark Barclay. She lived in Montrose till 1902. If you would like a list of namesor know of a connection would be pleased to hear.
