Message Board Post:
Hi, I found out that John Frederick Chalmers was actually born John Frederick ANDREWS,
which would explain why I couldn't find a birth record. Apparently, his mother, Rose
Crouch Andrews became divorced from Tom Andrews not long after John Frederick was born.
She then married my great-grandfather, John William Chalmers. I am not sure if John
Frederick Chalmers was the biological son of my great-grandfather, but there is
circumstantial evidence to say that it was probably the case. The petition for divorce is
filed with the UK Natl Archives, and in it Tom Andrews lists my great-grandfather as a
co-respondent, which would imply that there was some infidelity.
