Lanarkshire / Re: The missing Nocher family...I need some help finding them.
« on: Wednesday 17 November 10 20:58 GMT (UK) »
Hi,
By the looks of it you have been following this back quite far!
I just spoke to my Aunt Valerie tonight and she gave me this information about the Nocker's, bearing in mind this is all about Edward's brothers and sisters and Edward was born 11th December 1912. Edward had a big family and was the youngest of his brothers and sisters.
Edward is my direct grandfather and had four children, **
Edward's brothers are Peter, Thomas, William, Hugh and Alexander; his sisters are Ellen (born 14th February 1906) who we knew as Nena, Mary who was known as Meme, and Jeanie.
Mary had four children **. Interestingly I found out that ** is named after her Grandmother and her full name is **- I think we have your link! Ellen never married and had no children. Jeanie had two daughters **- not much more is known about her.
His brother Thomas went to California then came back and lived in Torquay before coming back to Glasgow. He married Abigail and they lived in Old Kilpatrick (out west of Glasgow). They had two children **, I actually remember going to young Abigail's house but I would have been very young at the time.
William also went to California and Torquay but he stayed in Torquay. He married Ellen and they had two children called **.
I am informed, sadly, that Peter died at a very young age.
Hugh got married to Annie McCulloch and they had two children called **. My Aunt thinks that they are still around in Glasgow but would be well in to their 70's now.
Finally, Alexander. Alexander went to South Africa never to return, not even for a visit! ** remembers him and thinks that she would have been 6 or 7 years old so this might put his departure at the early-mid 1950's. Alexander married Catherine and they had four daughters though we can only remember 2 of them, **.
My dad (**) also says that he remember's Ellen (b1906) having a nameplate on her door which read Noher or Nocher - I find it weird that somewhere along the line one of us changed it from Nocher to Nocker. ** said that we initially thought it was a 'apelling mistake' as I indicated on my first post and apparently my dad remembers his father mentioning the 'Connor' link but can't remember where or why.
I would love to hear if you have info on Edward/Hugh etc and further back or any other relatives they may have.
I would love to hear any 'tree' that you have which goes further back that Edward and Hugh.
