LAMOND, TARBITON, GREIG

[Alex and Jan]

I have done some research on scotlands people and found Richard Shearer Greig's birth in 1885 and his parents marriage in1878 - Alexander Greig and Annie Ross. Charles Greig and Jessie Stephen were the parents of Alexander Greig. (we have found them both in the censuses)

Thank you for your family details and sorry we do not appear to be researching the same family.

Regards,
Alex & Jan

Catherine Duncan Greig would be a sister to my grandmother's MOTHER'S MOTHER.  To put it another way, my mother's  (Mavis), mother's (Constance McLeod Rennie), mother's (Helen Webster Greig) father & mother were   Alexancer Greig & Jane Nees MacRitchie.

So how are you related to Catherine?

My Grandfarher, William Shearer Greig, died on active service during world war 2, long before I was born, so I know very little about him. I found the following information in the commonwealth war graves web site.

William Shearer Greig
Rank:  Engineman
Service Number:  LT/KX103192
Date of Death: 18/09/1944
Age: 58
Regiment/Service: Royal Naval Patrol Service
(The information above is also on his gravestone)
Grave Reference:  Sec P. Grave 22
Cemetery: Peterhead Cemetery (Constitution Street)
Additional Information: Son of Alexander and Annie Greig : Husband of Barbara Ann Greig of Peterhead.

I have been told that the following inscriptions are on the Peterhead war memorials, although I have not seen them
War Memorial Inscription (St Peters cemetary) Greig, William S.  Royal Navy Petty Officer
War Memorial Inscription (Drill hall)  Greig, P/O William S. R.N.

I do know that he was employed as the fireman on a steam drifter, during the 1930's

I believe, my grandmother, Barbara Ann Greig (Tarbitton). was his second wife. She lived at 9 Hanover St Peterhead from the late 1920's or early 1930's until her death in the 1980's

I have some additional information regarding my grandfather William Shearer Greig. During world war 1 he was a private in the 1st Gordon Highlanders (Number 8733 )and must have been held as a prisoner of war, because I have a letter from King George, dated 1918, on Buckingham Palace notepaper, which welcomes him home on his release.

I am also researching the Greig family on behalf of a grandchild of Ronald Greig, son of William Shearer Greig and Barbara Greig. I was wondering where/how to obtain military records?
Thanks,
