...shaking loose the mystery "twigs" on the family tree

 

"Our Unknown Soldier"
from the photograph album of
Elizabeth MacNeish Martin (nee MacDonald)
b1890 Greenock, Renfrewshire
and belonging to her parents before that...
A relation?...a family friend?...
Sent "home" to Greenock, Renfrewshire
from the Punjab, India
sometime before 1912

January, 2001
*update note regarding our
"Unknown Soldier"
...based on newly aquired information,
it seems that we may have
identified the above as a portrait of
William MORRISON b1871 Greenock,
s/o Patrick MORRISON and Eleanor DEENY,
and husband of Ann McDONALD b1868 Greenock.
William, at least at the time of their marriage
in 1894 in Greenock, Renfrewshire,
was a soldier, a Private in the
91st Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders,
a regiment known to have had many
long years of honourable service in India
up to and including the years just prior to
World War 1
 

 
 

A simple thought, in parting...
As my dear Grandmother, God bless her memory, 
often used to quote to those of a different ancestry...

"Scotch is what a Scotsman drinks! Aye!"
