Maryanne Laing

In which case this would be relevant to brother William:-

Gender: Male
Birth Date: abt 1895
Birth Place: Ardersier, Inverness
Age: 19
Document Year: 1914
Regimental Number: 9145

Other Records: Search for 'William Laing' in other WWI collections

................maybe you could just keep on file till you have confirmation.

So, if birth record is correct then it would seem his father is likely to be a soldier.

....although the second one looks to be unmarried so I would put my money on the first one.
Of course you would need the birth cert. to be sure.

I can only see one birth for a Claude Laing in Scotland in 1901.
He was born in Ardersier, Inverness.


This would be relevant to him:-

(I'll let Maryanne know how to find her replies) :-)

Maryanne, I noticed that you have added to Angela's thread but since it is 5 years old she might not be checking it. Much better to do as PH suggests and click on Angela's name and send a private message.

Take a look at this thread........

If you click on Angela's name........you can sent her a private message.

Angela posted the thread back in 1911 so hopefully she is still a member.
