Hi Ann

Just picking up the cue from one of the sites you posted http://www.snwm.org/ regarding checking for wills at the National Archives of Scotland (through their on line search service www.nas.gov.uk/onlineCatalogue/) and there is one entry there for James Docherty.

Not sure if you have this already Stovie, but the details show as:

Ref: SC70/8/31/12 -  Will of 8139 or 9139 Private James Docherty, 2nd Bn., Seaforth Highlanders, Cause of death: Killed in action, Frelinghiem, Theatre: France and Flanders, 19 Oct 1914

On a slight tangent ......

There is also a John Grahames listed on Coatbridge Civic Memorial (possibly a relation of Elizabeth?) and this same John is possibly listed on Stewart & Lloyd's (Coatbridge) Memorial, see:

http://warmemscot.s4.bizhat.com/viewtopic.php?t=7&mforum=warmemscot

If you are interested in following up any Grahames - this John is listed on a family gravestone in Old Monkland Cemetery. He was the son of Joseph and Mary Ann Grahames of Coatbridge. (7th Bn. Royal Scots Fusiliers, Service No. 16224, died/killed 26th September 1915) His brother James was killed in WW2.

Guys,

Can't thank you all enough.

Monica, I had managed to get the service history as I have James war medals so the details you added are correct (correct service number). I guess I am still trying to get to grips with searching as now trying to find the items you have already mentioned, so I can work out the best way to do this. Also got some (although few details) from a book called Coatbridge and the great War, which had all or most coatbridge men from the war.

May look into the Grahames stuff, have primarily been focusing on amguires, from my dads side (now stuck since tracing to Ireland) and Dicherty/Murray on my mums side, which you have all helped with.

Thanks again all... appreciated.

Hi ,
I stumbled across this post while researching Edward Grahames from Coatbridge , another son of Mary- Ann and Joseph Grahames. His sister Bridget was married to a Docherty ( found on Scotland's People )
Edward lived until 1976. I wondered if he was in the Seaforth Highlanders ?
