Hi David The e mail rejected so I am sending my reply via this site
Great to hear from you Thanks for the message. Re you theory of which of the Chalmer's
descendants I am: you are off on a tangent but there is a bizarre twist to your assumption
which I will explain later.
My birth name was Janet Morrison I was raised in Saltcoats & I am the daughter of
Thomas Morrison & Alice Chalmers Shaw (b 1937)
Mum's parents were Agnes Christie & Thomas Shaw (b 1909)
My Grandfather was born out of wedlock & his mother was Agnes Shaw (b 1890)
Agnes was the daughter of William Shaw & Jane (Jean / Jeanie) Chalmers sister of your
James Cowper Chalmers.
Now for the twist I also made contact with Kathleen via
ancestry.com earlier this year and
we have had plenty of contact since then. My Husband David & I were already booked to
take a trip to Australia & New Zealand at the end of August and will now be meeting
(& staying with at times)all the Chalmers girls while we are on the Gold coast. As a
child their father Hector had ill health & was dispatched to stay with my Great Great
Grandmother in Saltcoats for a holiday
Hector made recordings of many of his childhood memories etc in one of which he reminisces
about this holiday which was wonderful to hear
Do you have a tree on a.com I have one its Called Morrison family tree 2. I also have a
more detailed tree on Genes Reunited. I have plenty of family related research (courtesy
of 10 years of investigation) let me know if you are looking for any info in particular.
Look forward to hearing from you
Janet
