Annie Forbes Montgomery
1899–1976
BIRTH 10 DEC 1899 • 55 St Leonards Hill Edinburgh Midlothian Scotland
DEATH 22 NOV 1976 • 4 Harley St Rosyth Fife Scotland

Annie had a daughter, Trish, who is still alive.

Hello Katrina, I am the grandson of Gilbert. My name is Robert. I have sent you a message with my email address in it. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

My grandparents were married on the 22 December 1917, at the New
College Settlement, Pleasance, Edinborgh.
The only siblings of my father that I am sure of that has passed away is Gilbert James in 1975. It is possible they could all be considering their possible ages being in the late 90's plus. My father Frederick Fletcher born 1920 would be 96 if he were alive. He left Scotland in 1950 and did not maintain regular contact with any of his family including two sons from his first marriage. I am looking for any living family from his side that can possibly fill in some family history and even maybe a pic of my grandparents as I have nothing of them at all other than where my grandfather was born and his marriage entry. I know nothing about my grandmother Annie Forbes Montgomery other than she was born in 1899 and her fathers name was James Forbes Montgomery.

Frederick Robert Middleton Fletcher's wife's ms was Montgomery - some of it got chopped off in Katrina's post giving the marriage date.

The Kirkcaldy births are 1947, 1951, and 1955. I have a feeling that the 1947 one may perhaps not be a child of the same parents as the later two, just going by the choice of first names - but I could well be wrong!

The Edinburgh twins were born in 1947.

There are 8 'Borowski' living in Bedford, Bedfordshire in the ER 2002-2014 but there is no knowing if they are related to Stan or Edith. Edith is not listed with anyone.

You can find the listings on
http://www.searchelectoralroll.co.uk/Electoral_Roll_Search.asp
Then make a free search using the surname and post code on
http://www.192.com/
That will tell you how current the addresses are.

The mother of at least two of them is not Edith.
The other lisiting are likely to be either their spouses or children.

If you wanted to buy Stanislow's marriage cert to compare with the Scottish one, the reference you need is

Marriages Sep 1951 (>99%)
BOROWSKI Stanislaw MICKLEBURGH Bedford 4a 192

Obviously, if the births in Scotland are after 1951, the Bedford entry can't be correct
The first birth with the parents Borowski/Mickleburgh combination is in 1953

Possibly Edith's marriage??

1945 BOROWSKI STANISLAW FLETCHER EDITH ST GILES EDINBURGH CITY/MIDLOTHIAN 685/04 0819

If that is her marriage, then there are several Borowski births in Scotland in the years after 1945 - three in Fife (Kirkcaldy), and a pair of twins in Edinburgh, as well as a few in other parts of Scotland. You can find the births on SP, or I can send you the details if you think they might be the right people. Of course, without purchasing the certificates, it's impossible to know who their mother(s) was / were.

And a wild guess at Mr Borowski's death??

Stanislaw Borowski
in the England & Wales, Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Stanislaw Borowski
Birth Date: 12 Jun 1922
Date of Registration: Sep 2005
Age at Death: 83
Registration district: Bedford
Inferred County: Bedfordshire
Register Number: A9D
District and Subdistrict: 309/1A
Entry Number: 208

Are your father's siblings still living? (If not, we can freely post anything we find about them. If alive, we can't - though we can send you any such details in personal messages.)

How much do you know about them? What information are you still looking for?


Edith's birth??

1922 FLETCHER EDITH F DUNFERMLINE /FIFE 424/00 1014

PM received from Katrina (before I posted my last message):

Hello, I am so not familiar with using this forum so please excuse my contacting you this way. On the forum page you asked me about the christian names of my grandfathers children. The only one I have been able to find any info on was my fathers brother Gilbert born 1927 died 1975 in British Columbia Canada. The other siblings were my father Frederick born 1920 migrated to Australia 1950, Annie Laurie, Edith, Audrey and Thomas or Tommy. I have been able to find a marriage entry for my grandparents Frederick R M Fletcher and ANnie Forbes MonEdinborgh Dec 22 1917 in Edinburgh at the New Collage Settlement, Pleasance.

Katrina, it's best NOT to reply to messages individually (i.e. - by clicking on the person's name and sending a private message).

It's best to add your reply in the white box at the end of your thread (under "Add your reply"), and click "Submit". That way your reply will appear on the thread, and all the helpers can see it, and they can all then use the information to search more for you.

I am so overwhelmed with the information that has appeared on my grandfather and his family, a big thank you to Rambling Rose for all the info you have provided. I am going to try to either download it or save it as at the moment my printer is on strike lol. I am not sure how to reply to separate messages on here I am new to using a forum but I will certainly try.

If any of Frederick's children were born in Scotland, it will be virtually impossible to find the records, unless you know that they have distinctive first or middle names, as the mother's maiden surname can't be used as a search term in Scottish births after 1854.

What are the five children's first names, please?

I don't see a definite marriage for Frederick in Scotland / England / Waless - at least not using his middle name of Middleton.

Probably Frederick's death, per SP:

1976 FLETCHER FREDERICK ROBERT M 78 DUNFERMLINE /FIFE 432/00 0248

You will have to buy a copy of the cert through SP, to see all the details.

(The M is for Male, not Middleton!)
