Hello,
I am wondering if "Sandy (Alexander) Matheson" the brother of Nellie (Helen) Matheson of Castle St is the same person who was brother to Walter Matheson (see photo No: 255). Walter had an elder sister born 1882 called Helen (Nellie) Matheson and a younger brother called Alexander Matheson born 1888. Along with Mary Kennedy Matheson (the eldest sibling and Art Teacher at Balvraid School) they lived at number 5 Castle Street (from the 1911 census) with their parents George and Isabella. - Comment left on 04 January 2018 at 02:54 by MASIS PANOS
