he was in South Africa 1901 to 1902

Thanks everyone.

Yes that could well be his death.

What I'm trying to do is work from a match on a DNA test. The match says third cousin to the name I have. The problem is, the name I have is just that a name and rough date of birth, so I'm searching the tree from the DNA match.I'm having to check every stem from about GGGrandparents downwards.Hope that makes sense.

Could this be his death?

Hi Greyghost

Yes thats him in 1891

He married Jemima Morrison in 1894. She is on 1901 as a soldiers wife and 1911 as Mrs Theodore Chalmers.

The surname is very very common in Banff/Aberdeen. I'm trying to work down a family tree to a birth sometime around 1927.

Andy

Is this one yours - more like right age ! Surprisingly not as uncommon a name as I would have thought.
