Find Living Relatives

I'm looking for any descendants of Robert to help fill in the family tree.
Robert was a Company Sergeant Major who died March 1916, with memorial in Aberdeen Springbank Cemetery. He was married to Elizabeth Copeland who died in 1969. I am his great-niece and would love to get in touch with any relatives.

Did Elizabeth die in Scotland? if so, would her DC list the names of her children, if any? Unfortunately, statutory BMD in Scotland can only be found on Scotlands People which is a pay to view site.
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

If they married and lived in Scotland before 1911, any children born and living in Scotland with their parents would show on the census for that year - again on Scotlands People

As he is actually buried in Springbank. there is a good chance that he has a Scottish DC. Assuming that there is one, you can purchase and download it from Scotlandspeople.

Have you used the Search All Member Trees on this site to see if anyone else had Robert and Elizabeth listed?

As you are his great niece, you must already know the name of at least one of his siblings

As you have Jessie, 1874, in your tree, I imagine she is your line, or are you descended from another of the children?

Ethel, the granddaughter, is in at least two GR trees.

try to get in touch with the people who have her in trees, then look for the other names.

I've found several of them in a number of trees

Actually, I've just checked again, and you have all of the children of George and Jessie in your tree

It really is much better if you tell all you know when asking for help

Thank you all for your tips, it's got the grey cells working. :-)
