ALEXANDER NELSON My Grandfather born St Pancras area July 1871 (one of about 9 children) died Enfield 1933. He was apparently a 'dining room proprietor' in the Kentish Town area of London in the early 1900's and later trained as a chef & master carver. I am particlarly interested in finding info on his parents JAMES & AGNES NELSON (nee Robson) who were both born somewhere in Scotland according to census's. I have found amarriage in London 1861 but do not know if its them. The cert does not help me much either. If any one has any info - however remote- of how I can trace some scottish roots I would be really grateful. I haven't had much luck so far. Janet
