Australia / Re: James Murray PITTENDRIGH
« on: Monday 28 June 10 23:06 BST (UK)  »
Kris, thank you so much, you are very kind to have researched this, I wasn't expecting such interest or such a result.
We too were thinking there were two men of the same name after being puzzled by the age differences and the marriages. We initially wondered if our grandfather had had a secret family somewhere! My grandmother (his daughter) and her two brothers are now deceased, we are constructing a family tree, and are having to dig for information ourselves.
It's all becoming clearer now, thanks to all of your input, thank you all.

Information on this bloodline has been vague to us as my grandmother and her brothers became estranged from their father.

Thanks again to you all,
kind regards,
Claire

Hello all,
would you mind stating what interest you have with this bloodline? were you related?
This is becoming very curious, either there are two James Murray Pittendrighs or he was a bigamist!
(I shall post more information of his marriage to my great-grandmother at a later date, my mother has this information...)
The JMP of our bloodline is the nephew of David Murray 1829-1907 Merchant and politician, married to Rebecca...

I'll mail soon,
thank you all once again,
Claire

Australia / James Murray PITTENDRIGH
« on: Friday 25 June 10 20:30 BST (UK)  »
We are looking for relatives by the name of Pittendrigh who originated from Fife in Scotland.
James Murray Pittendrigh was married to Hilda Frances Kennedy in 1907, they had two children, we'd like to know of their whereabouts and what became of them. J.Murray was my mother's grandfather, (of his second marriage to Agnes Lyddon) We know that he travelled widely and we've uncovered some interesting facts...
Thanks,
Claire

BTW, if you look at the names on the tree, it's funny how the same names are being recycled, my brother is Thomas Henry, there's Francis, Edward etc...

Also, your father must be a cousin of my grandad too...On the tree he is Francis John Giles-married Joyce Mary-Kay. He likes to be known as John...

Hello Gary,
My grandad, John Giles, knew of Howards existence but didn't know where to find him, when we joined rootschat and found a 'HBG' looking for Giles', he was sure it was him! as the post was dated 2006 and rootschat told us he'd not been on in a long while we came to a dead-end. Every time my grandad visits he says, 'have you heard yet?' he's driven us bonkers! This is the news he's been waiting for!
Gary, if you go back through this thread you'll see I've posted a link to our two family trees, the one on myheritage is quite detailed and dates back to the mid-1600s. Howard and Frank are on there and so must be your father. (here it is again)

If you have published a tree we could merge them. We also have photos and will update it soon.
Regards,
Claire

Hello Barry,
I've received an email from Wanda in Canada so I knew they'd spoken...
The children of Edward are, Ellen (known as Nell) who lives in Newmarket Toronto,
Ruby-who lives in Baltimore USA,
Emily-who lives in Nottingham England
and John (my grandad) who lives in Leicester England.
Nell has a daughter Wanda, Ruby has a son Bill Tolhurst (also on rootschat) and a daughter Jean (yes, Billy Jean!) Emily had no children and John has two daughters, Diana (my mother) and Rosalind and a son Edward. We all live in Leicester/shire England.
mail soon,
Claire

Wow! we're related! You must be my mother's cousin then...(Diana Dunkley/Giles)
My grandfather, John Giles-son of Edward, is in Canada at present and will be so pleased to hear this news. If you'd like to see the tree here's the link:

There are some photos on this one (the second) and will soon update both of these trees. If you have a tree and would like to merge, just let me know.
Do you have any photos of Frank? -or anyone else? we'd be interested to see them...
My name is Claire James, I'm on the tree...
Kind regards,
Claire
