I would be grateful for any help here. My gg uncle Henry McCroban married a Joanna Slack in 1919. Joanna died in 1921 three weeks after childbirth. My gg uncle returned to England but I believe their son, James, remained with the maternal family in Scotland, I believe in Dunedin Street. I don't know if James is still alive or any of his family, but I have wedding photographs of Henry McCroban and Joanna Slack and also a couple of baby photos of James etc which my gg uncle kept until his death and then came into my g grandmother's possession and may be of interest to James and his family.

Dear Roblin,
I am researching Joanna Slack's family. Joanna was born 1891 in Berwick upon Tweed area, daughter of James Fallow Slack & Jane Elizabeth Richardson. I think Henry McCroban died 1953 in Newcastle area. James as you say, stayed in Edinburgh, married Madeline Ellis Burr 1953 & died 1995. I have a little more information of the Slack & lots more about the Richardson connections. Would you like to send me a person email if you would like more information,
Cheers,
Trix
