Bardess Posted 23 October , 2016 Share Posted 23 October , 2016 The only entry I can find for the above has been crossed out without any comments. Please can you find the correct entry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bardess Posted 23 October , 2016 Author Share Posted 23 October , 2016 I should make it clearer that I am searching for his Soldier's Effects Register entry. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a quick scan and I can't see any other obvious entry - I suspect ancestry indexing. EDIT: I can't see anything obvious under his other 2 numbers either - #4429 and #6382.

ss002d6252 Posted 23 October , 2016 Share Posted 23 October , 2016 I should that the 'see also' reference just above the crossing out isn't for him - the other record is for Stokes (the entry above James') Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolt968 Posted 23 October , 2016 Share Posted 23 October , 2016 Is anyone going to be at Scotlandspeople or the Registers equivalent in the near future? There are 28 James McDonalds deaths in the Minor records Service Returns for 1917 + 5 James MacDonalds. (I didn't find anything useful in the Daily Casualty Lists.)

You're welcome (it was either look for him or continuing reading my law books - your man won). I've got to find another excuse now.

rolt968 Posted 23 October , 2016 Share Posted 23 October , 2016 (edited) It looks as if he left a normal will. presented together with the inventory at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on 5 October 1918 with and eik on 11 November ????, presumably by or on behalf of his mother as executrix. "watchmaker, afterwards 35 Square, Grantown-on-Spey, and of Ashbank, Callander, Pte., 1/7th Battalion Royal Highlanders, d. on or since 23/04/1917 testate". (scotlandspeople) (An eik is an addition or continuation usually to a will or inventory). Roger M Edited 23 October , 2016 by rolt968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
