The Bent Cemetery Burial Records show the following:

ANDERSON, John, age 36, interred on 26 August 1904, address 52 Glasgow Road, Hamilton

ANDERSON, Georgina, age 3, interred 23 April 1908, address 8 Gladstone Street
ANDERSON, Georgina, age 48, interred 13 April 1926, address Woodlea Asylum, Lenzie

Cheers,

Rodeo

Georgina went on to marry again so that isn't her.

The other two are correct though. The recorded age of John on his death doesn't tally with 3 other records. I will search for a birth record around that time though.

Thank you

Dear William

I received your letter and I may say I was married under the name of Anderson. My husband informed me that when your father died, your mother married Reeves and when your mother died your step-father married again which left you with both step-parents. Therefore your father's name was Anderson.

I have heard John speak about your mother's sister being flitted to some place in Sterling.

I am sorry to tell you that I have had some trouble through measles to two of my children. My children's names are Lizzie, Robina and Jeanie. Lizzie after your mother, Robina after your sister and Jeanie after myself.

I am glad to hear of yourself wife and family keeping in good health.

I will now close my letter hoping to hear from you soon.

Yours sincerely

Mrs Anderson

This is the info from the letter.

Thank you looking into this for me.

I dont know. He didn't seem to know he was an Anderson. His sister in law told him in a letter.

I can't conform where she was living when she married Anderson or Reeves. I do believe William had roots in Glasgow or surrounding areas.

Myself and other family members are looking for information on my Great grand father. His name was William Anderson, although he used the surname Reeves. Reeves was his mother's 2ND husband. He died in 1946 and was 71 at the time of death.  His father is stated as John Anderson and his mother is Elizabeth Reeves formerly Anderson and maiden name Fraser.

William left the family at a unknown age but maybe 11 or 12. This was due to his mother dying and his step father remarrying. He had a brother called John and there is possibly a sister called Robina. I'm wondering if anyone here can find anything. Thanks
