JESSIE JANE THOMSON FINLAYSON DORWARD - DIED IN ARBROATH, 1959 Posted by Jerryfin 24 Oct 2012 :  01:18:05 AM In 1901, Jessie married Wilson Millar Dorward in Brechin. It is possible she owned or worked in a hat shop, either in Arbroath or Brechin. Their son, Wilson Jr., married Agnes Boath McLeod. Wilson Jr. and Agnes had a daughter, Christine Dorward, born in Brechin, 1928. Christine married Robert MacNaughton and they had (at least) two sons, Ian b.1956 and Grant b.1963. Can anyone help in finding my second cousins, Ian and Grant? - Jerry Finlayson 0 comments, Post a comment.
