Barbara and Ray….Thanks so much for the information. Before my husband died in 1997 we were able to get a picture of him in front of Craighearn in the same spot as Charlie. My MIL played violin in Tilyfourie and we visted there. William Grant died at Gilbert Crescent in Aberdeen.Another puzzle piece added helps On Mar 5, 2014, at 8:29 PM, Ray Hennessy <ray@whatsinaname.net> wrote: > On 3/5/2014 4:00 PM, Mina Patricia Grant wrote: > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ABERDEEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Hi again Mina Did you get William's death certificate from Scotland's People? They should have it although there isn't a Gilbert Crescent in Aberdeen today. There is a Gilbert Road in Bucksburn. Of the three William Grant's who died & were registered in Aberdeenshire in 1903 [there were none in Aberdeen City], only one is near the right age. He is 71 and died in Newhills. I haven't looked at the actual certificate and there is no gilbert Crescent in Newhills today. All in all, the information you have is a bit confusing. How do you know what he died of? Is there any chance he was registered under a different name? There is a "Medical Group" at 39 Gilbert Road but it doesn't suggest it's a care home where he might have died. Any more info you can share??

Hi Ray, Mina, I have a couple of relatives living in 9 Gilbert Crescent, Newhills in 1901, so the road did exist then.
