Take a look at this thread........

If you click on Angela's name........you can sent her a private message.

Angela posted the thread back in 1911 so hopefully she is still a member.

Maryanne, I noticed that you have added to Angela's thread but since it is 5 years old she might not be checking it. Much better to do as PH suggests and click on Angela's name and send a private message.

(I'll let Maryanne know how to find her replies) :-)

I can only see one birth for a Claude Laing in Scotland in 1901.
He was born in Ardersier, Inverness.


This would be relevant to him:-

First name(s) CLAUDE
Last name LAING
Year range 1901
Place ARDERSIER
Country SCOTLAND
Regiment 72nd Foot
Record source GRO Regimental Birth Indices (1761 to 1924)
Volume 210
Page 33
Record set British nationals armed forces births 1761-2005
Category Birth, Marriage, Death & Parish Records
Subcategory Births & baptisms
Collections from Great Britain

So, if birth record is correct then it would seem his father is likely to be a soldier.

....although the second one looks to be unmarried so I would put my money on the first one.
Of course you would need the birth cert. to be sure.

In which case this would be relevant to brother William:-

Birth Place: Ardersier, Inverness
Age: 19

Regimental Number: 9145

................maybe you could just keep on file till you have confirmation.
