Donald Nelson

British Army Royal Scots

Donald Nielson was born on the 16th of Jan 1885 at 74 Lumsden Street Glasgow, he was my grandfather's brother. He later changed to his name to Nelson. I don't know anything about his military service as he was disowned by the family because he didn't marry the woman that had his child. His other brother put his name on the birth certificate and the grandmother raised the child as her own. So, I was always told he was killed lost at sea, until I found one of his six sister's belongings and she had photos and an address of 7, Well Lane, Falmouth Cornwall, he died in 1966. His Mother was Katherine McPherson born in Ross, Scotland and his father was Peter Kristoffer Nielsen born in the town of Provan, Coppenhagen Denmark.
