Hi Caldwell listers.
I just received my Nana's death certificate info today from my aunt. I had
originally been told she was a Dixon. It turns out her parents names were....
Father - Ballach Caldwell
Mother - Elizabeth White
My grandmothers birth day was 11 October 1908, Elizabeth Dixon but she was
orphaned as a child. SO I guess she would have been born Elizabeth Caldwell
and later adopted by a Dixon family.
She also had two sisters named Crissie and Eva. I am not sure now that they
were actually blood related to make matters more complicated. She grew up in
Barrhead, Glasgow but that doesn't mean she was born there I suspect. I am
in the process of ordering her birth certificate just to verify the info and
see if her father has another name. I think Ballach may be a surname.
So if anyone has any info regarding a connection between Ballach and Caldwell
or Caldwell and White please let me know. I will repost when I get more info
regarding her birth certificate i.e. place of birth.
Thanks
Nina
