Evening All

Hoping i may be able to progress with some assistance with my Dingwall ancestry.

Gertrude c1887, Charles c1890 and Harold Dingwall c1897 are the children of John and his wife Margaret Wedekind. Possible marriage or deaths would be appreciated. Thanks

Yes thank you but i am only interested in Gertrude, Charles and Harold.

Yes but to find them we need the middle names if any, which is why the census details are important :-)

I have sent a message to some on GR with a possible connection just slightly out on the dates

KathleenBell Report 29 Dec 2012 17:49

Perhaps we have found the wrong Harold as it gives his parents as James Frederick and Elizabeth Ellen Dingwall of Audenshaw.
