Wondering if anyone can help me trace the Hand family who at one time lived mainly in the Lochee area of Dundee. I have heard that Michael Hand M Mary Reilly in 1873. there were at least two children Mary and Hugh that I know off. I heard that there were other children but their surname was Costello so i take it Mary had a second marriage. Hugh was killed in w.w.1 as he is remembered on a memorial tablet.
and oblige Tom

Hi CaroleW and ev :) I am back again and am totally amazed to find family that i knew nothing about,thanks to you both. My g/mother was,n't born till 04-12-1882 and her name was Mary she only ever mentioned Hugh as being killed in the war so its good to know that there were other children. Regarding the 2nd marriage I remember my aunty Kitty and my aunty Alice so that solves my grans half sisters. I would like to know what happened to the other boys and if they came back to Dundee
Thanks again Tom

:)To CaroleW and Ev
Just to let you know that I have found some information on Francis and Michael Hand re at the St. Josephs Ind. school in East Lothian. I posted a message on the East Lothian site and got a reply from GNU. You are all a mine of information and i just wish that i had started this years ago. Never the less i will try to keep plodding on.
thanks a bundle again

Hi all
Re; my post about the Hand family I have found out about most of the family but there is one who I did'n't know anything about .In the 1901 cencus there is a Hannah who was 12 years then and i wonder if anyone has any information about her or can put me on the right track to try t0 find what became of her .
thanks Tom

In the 1901 cencus there is a Hannah who was 12 years then
I think you mean the 1891 census - see my reply above
If you look at the 1881 details I posted - Hannah does not appear. If you look at the 1891 details - she is not shown as Hand - she was Hannah Costello

Hi CaroleW
Sorry for the error with the date. I also assumed wrongly that she was a Hand when looking below at my G/mothers name Mary. Must pay more attention when reading posts. Will take your advice CaroleW.
Thanks once more
Tom
