2 John Fallon's born 1903 in Scotland.

However if he was born Fallon then parents not married at the time OR are you saying that John Fallon are his Christian names and he was John Fallon Blackstock??

EDIT - see later - surname would seem to be BLACKLOCK not Blackstock

Adam's ( if 1876) birth - so surname BLACKLOCK not Blackstock looking at this and census info.,

?Marriage of parents

BLACKLOCK ADAM Elizabeth VIVERS 1867 841/ 18 18

Seems to be an assortment between 'Stock and Lock' in 'Search All Member Trees'...

Looking around on google search, Adam Blacklock/Elizabeth Vivers for Parents of 1876.

Chris :)

Edits (in case Neil isn't aware of 'Search' All Member Trees)

(top right of page, here, under 'Search, to see if other Genes Member are sharing)

There seems to be a lot of confusion over the parents- the Adam Blacklock on that 1901 was born c1883 and isn't the 1876 birth (with mother Elizabeth Vivers).

This is 'our' Blacklock family in 1891:

There's probably more on Ancestry worldwide that might confirm- but I don't have sub for that.

So it's Lock, not Stock then, (lol, and nearly got that the wrong way round)

Chris :)

(ducks head here quick, in case AQ throws something at me!!)

Hehe- and two smoking barrels!

Chris- the closest thing I have to hand is a glass of wine- so no worries, the wine's going nowhere! (apart from my mouth)

Might just need barrels if this isn't right, lol...

(WW1, added above)

Chris :)

Chris- that's a great find. So it looks to be our man scooting off to Canada.

However- how does Neil know that Adam fathered John Fallon??

Need more input from Neil, I think...

Chris :)
