Hi Annie

I think it was the failure to find Keziah in May that's made me determined that we'll find Claude! :)

Yes, we have him in 1881 and 1891 but he's hiding both before and after...

Isn't this an interesting family, though?

cheers

Paul

Okay, okay.

Do a "Control F" Search on molison.  I'll email them now.

Here's a possible clue to the Scottish Molison link...


The Edwin Fox
http://www.bruzelius.info/Nautica/Ships/Merchant/Sail/E/Edwin_Fox(1853).html

1867 February - 1867 October
In command of Captain Alexander Strachan Molison, Brechin, Stepney

If you search for Molison on teh IGI the concentration is Kincardine, Aberdeen and there are Google hits for Brechin.  So not sure but this entry implies Alexander is from Brechin living in Stepney.

Sorry Manchester Rambler already posted this  :-[ :-[

Found this on Rootschat from the chap I've just emailed...

I have an Augusta Jane Marshall born abt 1813, probably Aberdeen, but otherwise know little about her other than that she married Alexander Strachan Molison bef 1833, had 4 children and died before 1868. Would really like to know more. Molison was a Ships Captain mostly on the Australia/India/London run.

Paul............................... :P

You think he could have gone to the Boer War?
My eyes are going GOZZY looking through shipping lists - I can't find him.. :P
That posting that was weird was from Ancestry and I can't find it again now one of those obscure listings....

He could have been with relatives like sister Margaret - but we're not going to find him till you stop worrying about him !!

Go to bed... ::) ::)
