Hello,
I am at the moment stuck in a bit of a hole researching my great-grandfather and his wife,I know his name is James Cairns and he was born between abt 1897-1900 in Glasgow and I have been told his millitary career he served some if not all of his time with the Black Watch and then went on to serve with the T.A.
I am still trying to get some information about my Great-Grandmother though as I have asked my Gran about her and have been told she went by many names,One of which was Helena Christina Murray,In reaserching this person I cannot find her anywhere but all the different hints I have found have given me different names but nothing diffinative.My G-Grandfather & G-Grandmother had 3 children,My Grandfather James Born 14/2/1922,His brother who was called either Douglas,Doug or Dougie born I am unsure but I know he moved to either Canada or the United States when young and is still alive as far as my Gran knows and finally their sister I am told is called Betty Born.I am also unsure but was told she married and moved to the south coast of England where she was a School Teacher but I am unsure if she is still living.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Many Thanks,
Andy
