Aberdeenshire / Re: James BROWN, baker & confectioner

Sorry not your James Brown, we have found ours he was born in Lymington, Hampshire, to scottish teachers who came down south, on the 1891 census he was apprentice to James F Mellor a baker & confectioner in Lancashire, who also was scottish. Good luck with your search.

Thanks for replying. If you search for Gordon Highlanders we have 2 headings 1. Do you know these soldiers? and 2. Chiseldon Army Camp. We do not know what part of Scotland he came from but we are awaiting his RASC / fusiliers service record from Glasgow which hopefully may have his G. Highlander records which may show us his parents and location in Scotland. He was apparently a renouned Baker/Confectioner and we think he may have headed an exhibition in London.

Hi,
Have been looking everywhere at badges and the only one that I think it looks like is the Post Office, does this make any sense?
I have found his death and service no. so we will apply to Glasgow for his service record, but I have heard this could take as long as a year
