My ancestor James Melrose  was a Private serving in the (599) 2nd Battalion, The Black Watch(Royal Highlanders.  He was killed  in action on the 9th May 1915 at the Battle of Aubers Ridge and his name is recorded on Le Touret Memorial.

Hi Mirrin
I have George and his father Thomas Melrose serving as Royal Engineers; Royal Sappers & Miners in the early 1800's. I am interested in seeing if we connect. See George's history here http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Melrose-14
Thanks

Hi Rhonda what an interesting history you have collected for your Melrose family sorry to say it is very unlikely that there is a connection my ancestor James Melrose was born in edinburgh, his father was James Melrose and his grandfather Alexander Melrose . They also were born in Edinburgh, Alexander 1807.  Thank you for your interest.
