hello ladystardust,
yes indeed you have what I believe to be the right family! It has taken me a long time to
figure this on out as my dad Alexander hepburn (born 13th march 1904 in Aberdeen) was
illegitamate and and always told me that his mothers name was Mary. However, on his birth
cert it states that her name is jessie kelman. My father married a isabella ross in 1928
when he was 24 and on the marriage cert it states his mothers name as mary, and his father
as hugh hepburn.This threw me a bit, as the mothers names did not match, but on the
marriage cert it stated that her maiden name was kelman, so I assume she used both
names.Hugh hepburn married a jessie aiken but did not, i think, father her children.I
think my father was definatly brought up with his father as he told me that he was taught
to play the bag pipes by his father who served in the highland light infantry for 22 years
asa pipe major. My father played them very well.I would love to hear more from you if you
have the time, you !
are the only reply I have received in all this time.Anthing you can tell me would be very
much apreciated!! kind regards,
Nora.
