Roseline was born in Insch in 1916 and died 23 June 2003 in Stonehaven. She had married Richard Simpson of Altens, Nigg in 1939. Sadly, Richard was captured in Singapore and was forced to work on the Burma railway where he died, the day before his 29th birthday. I know that he left two young daughters to be brought up by his wife.
Roseline was the daughter of James Balgowan of Dellavaird, Auchinblae.
My mother, now 102 years old keeps asking if I have heard anything about Richard's family. She is Richard's cousin and daughter of William Arthur and Mary Gordon Pittendreigh.
I did post about the Simpson family at Altens about 8 years ago and got a short reply from Altens1, but as there were only 2 posts I was unable to send a personal message.
If anyone knows about Roseline Simpson's family or can put me in touch with any of the Balgowans or help me to further them on my tree I would be most grateful.
