April 22nd

On this day in 1859 - 160 years ago - Adam Tawse was born.  He is your 1st cousin 3X removed.  He was born in Monquhitter in Aberdeenshire - the fourth child (of nine) born to blacksmith James Tawse and Mary Donald.  Mary is your 3Xgreat aunt.  Interestingly enough there is another Adam Tawse from the same area who left Aberdeenshire and came to Manitoba.  But I'm pretty sure it's a different person - though likely related.  Another line of research to pursue!

Another birth on this day is that of Flora Anne Page Glover.   She was born in 1919 in Newcastle upon Tyne.  She is your first cousin 2X removed.  Her father is Archibald Ritchie Lawrence Glover -  the brother of William Fisken Glover - my dad's dad.  Archibald was a bank clerk.  Flora's mum was Caroline Anne Page.  Flora was their second (and last) child.  Her older brother is also called Archibald (Archie) - and he's the fellow who married Grace Marie Igel's daughter Pauline (made famous by the BBC's A House Through Time which you'll see sometime soon).

The Westgate Road in 1920 - West End of Newcastle - fairly close to where the Glovers lived.
