Robert Kiltie Gray

Hi John, Wilma, Pauline, Valarie, Senga & Margaret, I saw you post for Robert, I am closely related to the Kiltie family, I and my cousin Robert tried in vain to find the grave in Silent City Aden for your Robert. Here are the details we found so far and a short introduction about us: I am Linda Kiltie Stewart and my cousin is Robert Kiltie Taylor, his mum is Mary Kiltie Bridesmaid on the marriage certificate below. Robert's grand parents are: James Kiltie & Jane Kiltie maiden name McCord. My grandmother is Joan Kiltie sister of James Kiltie and sister-in-law to Jane. I have completed the Kiltie family tree and have a separate commemorative page for all the Kiltie men who gave their lives in defence of our country.
Kind Regards Linda
