Pte. William Docherty
British Army 2nd Battalion Scottish Rifles
from:Glasgow
William Docherty married my grandmother Sarah in 1920, it was her third marriage, She was previously married Patrick Sweeney in 1916 who died in 1918. Her first husband was my grandfather George Ronaldson, who was soldier in the 2nd Scottish Rifles he served under the false name of James Ewing and was killed in 1914. William Docherty was also in his battalion and I believe Patrick Sweeney was too.
I am trying to find about the subsequent marriages of Sarah Ronaldson, who had three children to George. Was it just by chance or did these two men seek her out to offer her comfort as she was a widow of someone they knew as a comrade?
