Hi, Perhaps you noticed this Ramsay????
 I have an Alexander C Ramsay -  who came from anywhere ??? help please ...
He married my great aunt Edith Elizabeth Dyer, [ b 1866 Vic. Australia.,] in Hong Kong 1890 in a Catholic Cathedral... They had a son Alexander Ramsay  born 1890 in Shanghai,  who grew to 6 foot 1" tall, who fought in WW1   and survived Egypt and France. His mother lived in Sydney 1915.
Many thanks

I'm guessing you don't have details of who his parents were? I have looked at the Ramsays on my tree but know about all the Alexander Ramsays there. If there is a connection I think it would need to be quite far back. I have an Alexander Ramsay born around 1823 in Edinburgh. His parents were Alexander and Janet Ramsay. I know about all of his children born in the 1840s and 1850s but it is possible that he had a brother who may be the father of your Alexander. Pure speculation though I'm afraid.
