Thank you so much. I believe my father was then stationed in the Middle East, possibly Egypt before returning to the UK in late 1947.

Does anyone have fathers/grandfathers who were stationed in Gibraltar with the above regiment in 1945/7?  Trying to find out where they were sent after Gibraltar. Thank you.

To MishL,
Thank you so much for your message. I've not done any serious research on the Ruanes for a while as my Ancestry membership doesn't cover Ireland so I was excited to read your post. We have a few old photographs of the Ruane family but we don't know who is who!
My husband is the descendent via his grandfather Michael Ruane (Later Rowan) and Michael's daughter Mary who lived in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Thankyou.

Yes it is also sad that by the time William came back to London by 1891 Sarah had already died (during or after childbirth in 1868) 

I must do another search for the Kerr family where William was lodging in Glasgow in 1871 when he was 18 but as you have said I might not be able to find out more unless I go for DNA testing.

The mystery continues then. Sarah's father's name was William. Perhaps the Siggers family had a visitor from Scotland or perhaps there is no connection at all with them and the father of William John.
Perhaps one day it will be solved!

Hello RyanSiggers and thank-you for your message. This is really very interesting indeed. My grandmother (nee Diaper and granddaughter of James Diaper) told me that the family of Sarah's child William John Levett took him away from her to Scotland. He is listed on the 1871 Scotland census as living in Glasgow (a lodger) and on the 1861 England census he is living with Sarah (nee Levett) Diaper and her daughter Lucy. William  married Charlotte Sharp and then in 1891 appears on the England census living in London with his family. Do you think this is the same family? I do hope so!

Just another thank-you to everyone who helped point me in the right direction in my search for my Godfather. I have now received both his and Mary Wallace's Wills which confirm they are mother and son!

Yes I spotted that. Hawkhurst/Cranbrook is north of Hastings so that would fit. I might well send off for Edward's Will as well but I'll wait to see Mary's first.

Yes that's right and I now have found on Ancestry  a Death notice for an Edward George Wallace in Kent in 2006.
More investigation needed!
