Hi Chiad,

I did send a message to Jimijam.

As you say Abernethy is just down the road from Newburgh - you never know!!

Hope you are keeping well.

Hi GrandmaSheila,

I just found this on GenesReunited Message Board:

WAR MEMORIAL WETHERBY RD HARROGATE
Hi,
Can anyone help me. My grandfather William Randolf Davidson died in 1920 in a hospital for wounded soldiers in Harrogate. I have been told that in 1920 Grand Duchess George erected a war memorial to the soldiers who died in her hospitals. The memorial is on the corner of Wetherby road next to the stray.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY INSCRIPTIONS ON THE MEMORIAL AND IF THERE ARE ANY LOCAL BOOKS AVAILABLE TO BUY REGARDING THE HOSPITALS FOR THE SOLDIERS.
tHANKYOU

Don't know if this will help... Do let us know...

Best wishes, Jimmijam

IT HAD TO HAPPEN ... SOONER OR LATER!

This is a fantastic (possible) result ... I just hope it's 'Oor Wullie'

GrandmaSheila has to be getting excited now!

Family surnames being researched ...
Crawford, Neilson, Lindsay, Reekie, Davidson
Drummond, Laing, Pearson, Tulloch ... will do for starters but there's a whole lot more!

What are 'families' for GrandmaSheila?

IT HAD TO HAPPEN ... SOONER OR LATER!

I've copied this 'result' to the Yorkshire West Riding page in the hope that some one will help!

Could this be an early Christmas present for us?  :-\

What a lovely chap you are Chiad and always trying to help.

I have put a message on Genes - we live in hope.

Almost Christmas could be an early present.  Hope you are managing to move about up there now the snow is melting, we have been lucky here it has almost gone now.

Pic of yours truly on East Lomond (a modest 1,424 feet) in the middle of Fife last Saturday

Could be the Alps or Himalayas  ;)

Mild today and the snow has almost all gone ... ready for a return next week!
