This is from David's Military records of 1914. Helen is mentioned on it, but so are two further children. Hard to find the 1911 census.

The Miller brothers look very possible as Brother Inlaws

I couldn't transcribe her name on his records, I thought it might have been 'Millan' or 'william'

Stirlingshire / McPherson Family 1900, Bainsford, Grahamston area

Im looking into my Mum's side of the family and have a lot of connections from the Falkirk area.

So far I have:
David McPherson (1862 - Unknown) but i know he survived WW1
married in 1888
Helen {Unknown} (1867 - Unknown)

They had 4 children to my knowledge:
Alexander McPherson (1890 - 1916 KIA)
James McPherson (1891 - 1917 KIA)
David McPherson (1897 - Unknown)
Helen McPherson (1899 - Unknown)

When David (1862) joined the Military (1914) they were living at:
9 Mill Court, Grahamston, Falkirk.

His son Alexander is my Mums Great Grandad. Alexander married Agnes Liddle (Possible Naismith) in Glasgow in 1910.
They lived at Lock 5, Bainsford. After he was killed in 1916 she moved to 112  Main Street, Bainsford.

There seems to be very little information other than what is here, and I certainly can't seem to trace back any further,

Any help, photos, description of the local area would be great. Thank you

Hi Maggi, so for the time in replying.

So the Foulds that I have are belonging to a 'William Henry Foulds' (16/04/1860 - 27/04/1901) who was serving as a British Soldier in India.
He was Colour/Staff Sergeant serving with the Royal Field Artillery.
William died whilst serving in the Military, although I am unsure wether it was illness, or injuries sustained.
3 out of his 4 Children were born in India, with the other being born in Kent.
He married a lady called Ellen Whittingham in about 1887.

As far as I can tell all family members returned back to the UK.

The source is from National Probate, Military Records, 1911/1901 cenus

Thank you very much.

Unfortunately I just looked into that tree, and that Edward died in 1995. Looks like a very popular name for that area during the 30's/40's

World War Two / Family of PTE Edward Hewitson - Somerset Light Infantry
« on: Tuesday 19 September 17 03:50 BST (UK)  »
Good morning all,

Trying to help a friend track down the parents of of his Great Grandad, who looks like he was killed in Burma during WW2.

What we know so far:
Edward Hewitson
Born: abt. 1917 in Durham
Died: 09/09/1944 in Burma, India - Burried in Karachi.

Married
{Unknown} Bell in 1939

And had one child that we know of:
Christine Hewitson
Born: March 1944

He served in the Somerset Light Infantry, but we have no Military records for him. And the only records online that I can find, give no details of a partners name or parents name.

It would also seem if this is the right man, that he died without ever seeing his daughter (My friends Grandmother).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you got the marriage cert?
Then at least you would have a fathers name for him.

No I don't have their marriage cert, in was about 1936. All i do have is their wedding photo. My grandad was present but as he was so young can't recall anything
