James Duncan Connell
« on: Tuesday 26 April 11 08:28 BST (UK) »
Hi Everyone, I have started to investigate the early life of my grandfather. James died in 1961 in Melbourne Australia.
Are there any Connells on this forum?
Cheers

Diddy, I will have to find where I put the papers I do have. I know he was born in Dollar and he and his brother found it best if they went to Australia!

sibling:

Connell Connell 8/2/1907 Dollar
same parents

SP has other possible siblings but you will need to buy credits to view records. there is a Reida, female - maybe sister as mother has Reid as maiden name!!

birth!!

James Duncan Connell  15/9/1894 Dollar
son of John Connell, labourer & Christina Lattar?  married 27/5/1880 Dollar

that should get you started! their marriage will be on SP to check maiden name - unclear on birth.
