May 4th in 1854 was when your fist cousin 3X removed, Alexander Ironside, was born in Monquhitter in Aberdeenshire. The Ironside name came onto our family tree through the marriage of Alexander's father, also Alexander, to Jane Donald. Alexander was their first born. Eight siblings followed. The family were crofters / farmers.
And May 4th is also the day when your German grandparents got married. Karl Muller and Klara Schwalb tied the knot in 1929. I fear I know nothing about the marriage - but would assume it took place in Rheinbach or nearby - maybe in Fritzdorf where Oma was from. At the time of the marriage Karl was 23, Klara was 22.
