I am so happy to share this success with you all.
A short while ago I posted "Another Lost Son" this I thought was Robert ? Barr who was the informant on his Father's death certificate though there was no record of a birth for a Robert with the parents John Anthony & Mary Jane.
On looking more closely at the death cert what I read as "Present" turned out to be "Vincent" R Barr. Went searching for this birth and there it is Vincent Richard Barr 1922 Dunbarton.
Vincent died 2004 and through his death certificate I have traced his Son. I wrote to him not sure what to expect in return, but pleasantly surprised that he he excited that he has "rellies" he knew nothing about, he is sending me photos of my Mary Jane Rae who of course is his Gran also other photos.
He also sovled another mystery which I posted as "Missing Mother & Son" concerning Martha Rae & Son Austin Rae. Austin lived with Mary Jane & John Anthony Barr after their marriage until they died, then he went to live with Vincent & family until Austin's death in 1972.
Martha his Mother disappeared no-one knows where to.
So though this has been long and drawn out to some, I wanted to share it with you all, as the TS team & family have always been agreat help with tips, searches, ideas, and loads of other stuff, so it's a HUGE thanks to you all =D> =D> =D>
I guess the moral of this story is never give up, though I have felt like it many times.
