Hi Roger,

I feel that there is a great possibility that we are related. If so, the couple you mention would also be my GG grandparents making us 3rd cousins. I would be interested in any information you have that would help prove this. I have been told that George Ferrier DAKERS b. 1843/1844 is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery, Montrose but I have no proof of this. He could very well have been buried on Rossie Island. I know definitely that he is not buried at Sleepy Hillock.

I am also interested in how you tie in with the DAKERS. George Ferrier DAKERS b. 1896 had a girlfriend in the North East of England prior to his heading off to the First World War. She had a child out of wedlock that we understand was called George DAKERS. George Ferrier DAKERS above used to keep in touch with his son when living here in Canada.

If you wish we can continue to connect on this, perhaps offline. My email is amilne@sympatico.ca.

Happy Hunting,
Alex Milne
