The Common Room / Re: Wills twice proven...which to order? (panic last minute!)
« on: Today at 17:24 »
Hi,

    In the cases that I am aware of it is because some other property has been found.
    Again with the ones I have looked at it is a variation, so you need both parts, but   it may depend on where we are talking about.
    Part of the fascination of genealogy.

That was rather why I put chance in my post.

This is obviously a somewhat complex family, and I would say this is worth a small amount of follow up.
Looks like a child living with relatives.

The OP might recognise the other surnames

I have found many people in unexpected places over the years, following exactly these kind of chance finds.

Dave,

   Thanks for posting the question, I have my own links to Dundee, and it lead me to this.

Women were the wealthy ones in Dundee, they made the men redundant on a regular basis, so they would not have employment rights, or some such. I forget where I read that. I think it might have been when I visited here.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Kathleen - Who is she?
« on: Today at 13:55 »
Just a thought do you have examples of your grandmother’s handwriting to compare, or anyone else who might have written the name?
I have some who knowing who wrote the inscription helps identify the person.
Your grandmother’s cousin seems like a good possibility.
I would put it down as a possible, perhaps in pencil on the back?
It does look like a studio photograph, not sure of what people think of the date? Just pre WWII?

I did wonder about the transcription, but it seems to be Do, F*?

So in London somewhere.

Stirlingshire / Re: Which regiment?

Possibly here.

In Scotland quite normal, people got married in their homes as well.

I think that ties the family together nicely?

A real find.
