Research Notes

While trying to track the siblings of my William, I came across this sad story. So far, I have only been able to follow Thomas because of his name. I have no idea where the other siblings ended up, as yet. Thomas died aged 26 yrs of Phthisis Pulmenalis, or consumption and William was informant on his certificate, so I'm wondering if they were the last surviving children. William was obviously working in Angus, married there, and returned home to await his brothers death.Urquhart-93 03:19, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
