Member Since: May 2008 Posts: 20 Send Message	Hi Liz - is definately the latter one I think - the other siblings in the first family dont match mine - he had two brothers Jim & Jack (poss James and John) and a sister May (which could be Mary or Margaret) do you have more info on the 1891 birth - much appreciated.

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 12,291 Send Message	Sorry Paula, not finding anything which is strange. Think you're going to have to send for that certificate to find his father's name and occupation. Liz

Member Since: May 2008 Posts: 20 Send Message	Liz thanks - my Dad has just called me and informed me Robert's parents were Scottish (at least his father was - and we think his name was Thomas Heron b 24 Aug 1857 m Mary Dolan 17 Aug 1885) - this may be Roberts father or poss an uncle but dad remembers his scottish accent and him saying he was from Fort William - amazing what the 82 year old remembers when you start chatting - its all very exciting!
