Title: Who is living with my ancestor?
Post by: KentishChris on Wednesday 27 November 19 06:45 GMT (UK)

Hello all,

I've found my ancestor, Violet Horne, living in Gourock, Scotland.
She claims to be married for 15 years (correct, although she did file for divorce 8 years earlier) and she clearly states that she has no children, which is incorrect, although that's a whole different story.

Who is living with her though in 1911? He is an engineer, born in Lanark, Glasgow.

Any help on his name would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance
Chris

Fantastic, thank you both for your quick help!

I thought Rob and had G for his surname, but couldn't work out the rest

Thanks again
Chris
