This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: RossThomas77 Surnames: Thomas; Morris Classification: lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.scotland.ans.general/5599/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi My grandfather James was born 2 Dec 1885 at Arbroath to James Thomas and Elisabeth Morris (Cert 715). Young James had an older sister Anne and later a younger sister Jean, neither of whom would marry. Their grandfather (name unknown) is thought to have been a parson in the church (Methodist?) but this has not been confirmed. My grandfather came to Australia around 1904 and eventually settled in Western Australia. Beyond this, I can find little about these people. If some kind person has access to Angus (Forfar) BMD records, would they please provide any details available. I would be happy to provide information on the Thomas clan Downunder.

Hello Ross, If you pay G.B. 6 pounds to Scotlandspeople you may search your family, you receive 30 units, & 1 unit will show a list of James Thomas bn Arbroath, then you would be able to print a copy of his birth, which give parents & father's occupation, plus mother's maiden name. The websight is www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk Well worth it, & our $ is at 49P at present, regards, Barbara Melb. Aust.
