Message Board Post:
Am seeking family tree information about the following family.
James Chalmers born circa 1830, married Jane Chalmers nee Galloway on 31 Dec 1867 in
Glasgow Scotland. James was christened 4 Dec 1831 in Bothwell, Lanark, Scotland and his
parents were William Chalmers and Helen nee Rae.
James and Jane's children were Annie born circa 1868, Thomas Galloway born 28 nov
1870, Agnes born circa 1873 and David born circa 1875. At the time of the 1881 census they
lived at 31 Comely Park Street, Glasgow, Scotland. Thomas Galloway Chalmers emigrated to
Rhodesia in the 1890s and he married Rachel nee Shaw and they had 3 children Cecil James
born circa 1902, Jean ("Jennie") and Margaret Stuart (my paternal grandmother)
born 25 may 1906. Margaret Stuart married my grandfather Francis Eric Kimberley. In about
1905 Thomas Galloway Chalmers had a possible cousin called James who lived at 175 Duke
Street, Dennistown, Glasgow, Scotland with wife and child. No further details known.
Thomas Galloway Chalmers also had cousins living in Bedford UK in the early 1900s by the
names Valarie and Cynthia Chalmers. Annie Chalmers apparently emigrated to Canada. I know
nothing about Agnes and David Chalmers. I would like to obtain any further family tree
info from any descendants of t!
hese people mentioned. Thank you in advance for posting a response here and copying to
