Charles Ross Lyon.....

[Heather Lyon]

I am searching for any living relative of Charles Ross Lyon married to Agnes Reoch in Brechin 1923. Charles was born abt 1892 to William Lyon and Helen Ross previously Shepherd. Charles had 2 sisters, Williamina born about 1887 and Jeannie born about 1891. I am also searching for any relatives of Alexander Lyon married to Anne Beange. Alexander was b 1836 Methlick and died 1904 at Strath of Watten, Caithness.

Any information would be helpful.

Hi Heather,

Have you tried searching for Lyons on

www.genesreunited.co.uk/ ?

I've found the site interesting for finding links to present day family members.

Best wishes

Hi Catriona

Thanks for your reply. I have been a member of Genes Reunited for over a year now but so far I have not found any matches. I keep hitting a brick wall with my search and thought if I could find a living relative I might be able to go forward with my search.

Thanks again.

Here is a wild card for you, but after all of these years you may have come across it before.
A James Reoch Esq. died while travelling from Leith to Van Diemen's Land in 1843. He asked that his remains be preserved so that he could be buried in the Presbyterian burying ground upon arrival.
He was the son of the chief magistrate of Leith. The artricle appeared in at least two Tasmanian newspapers of the day. Reference for one of them is:

Good luck,

Hi Piperpaul

Thanks for this information. I don't think this was the same Charles Ross Lyon because his father was a hotelier.

Thanks again.

Charles had three siblings, his elder brother John, and elder sisters Williamina and Jean[nie]. All three married, all three died in Scotland ages between 62 and 75. There were two least kids, this from the informants on the death register entries for two of them, plus that of Charles' father William, - a granddaughter was the informant.

Did you have any contact with Charles' mother Agnes REOCH before she died at a grand old age? A look at that death record that could well lead quite quickly to living relatives...............

See my PM to follow later, - after the tennis !

Hi again

Thanks for the info. William Lyon was my great grandfather and my grandfather was his son John Lyon. I didn't have any contact with Agnes Reoch or any of the other members of the family so i will try to look it up.

Thanks again.
