Hi Stuart,
Thanks for getting back to me,I know moving house can be stressful,so thanks again for your time.
Your great grand father's sister did indeed, marry my g,grand father Ernest.They had a son John,probably named after our g.g.grandfather,while still living in Knoydart in 1905.
By 1906 they had moved to Dunblane,adding another 9 (?)children,including my grandfather,Ernest.
My great grandmother died in 1931 aged 47,their daughter Rebecca died in 1943 aged 21.
I am the eldest of three sons,the middle son carries the name Duncan,the youngest coincidently,the name Stuart.
I have found out more about the McPhails than the Morgans to be honest.
Ernest does not appear until Catherine and Ernest's marriage in 1904.
according to the marriage certificate,they both worked and lived in Scottas.Catherine, a domestic servant,Ernest,a groom at the stables.
I believe Ernest was born in Holt in Worcestershire in 1881-82,and it is a mystery as to why he ended up in Knoydart.It may be he was transferred from one Estate to another, as on his death certificate his father William, was a gamekeeper.
Anyway cuz,I let you get on with the flit.
