Think Helen mixed up the generations - see my posts above - 2 x census and parents/grandparents marriages

Helen, in your opening statement you say that Frank R. was born 1900 but his father David was born 1833. Was his father really 67 when he was born?

You also say that Frank R.'s brother David was born 1866. Was there really 34 years between brothers?

On that 1923 arrival in USA where he gives mother's name as Mary Ann Grieve, Blue Stone House, Crail, Fife he says he's going to join cousin John Brown, 319 E. 86th. St., New York.

I can't see anything else for Frank after 1823 , I'm afraid.

Are the relationships you've posted a bit mixed up?
