tracking down Aberdeen warhero relatives Sgt J.B.Lamont
« on: Sunday 16 July 17 12:57 BST (UK) »
For my research and in memory of the crew of a Stirling bomber shotdown 26th July 1943 over the village of Lieshout I trying to track down the relatives of Sgt Joseph Ballard Lamont who was the son of Joseph ballard Lamont and Margaret Reid Lamont of Aberdeen. Joseph was the Navigator of the Stirling bomber and died at the young age of 23. Any help in tracking down these relalives much appreciated!!

Regards,

Anc tree gives a brother Raymond born 1926 Scotland but Scotlands People dont show a Raymond Lamont in 1926  ???

Also shows Margaret Collison Reid/Lamont passed away "about 1981" - Bucksburn, Aberdeenshire.
Sadly no sources for either entry.  :-\  But they do have a photograph of Margaret. Could be worth contacting.

Joseph's father died in Aberdeen,aged 65. His death certificate would tell you whether his wife was still alive or not, & the informant may be a relative. This is obtainable from scotlandspeople. The death announcement & acknowledgement may be in the local newspaper. Aberdeen City Library, Local History Department, can do look ups for you if you know when the death occurred. There may also be a headstone which could also lead you to other relatives.

Sandra, there is a death for mother Margaret, showing as Maggie:

Maggie Collison Lamont aged 82 died in 1981 in Bucksburn. Ref 321/ 36. Same refs and details showing for her under the surname of Reid...and Paterson. Looks like she remarried after husband Joseph's death?
