Note from Mary Young Dec. 2006: In 2002, someone informed me that Robert Fiddes and Andrewina Munro had a daughter, Jane Fiddes. However, this was an error. Louise Fiddes now confirms that this Jane Fiddes was actually "Elizabeth Jane FIDDES daughter of Robert Fiddes a farmer and Alice Fiddes nee Bertram - so definitely not ours."

Louise Genge 2006-12-25. [regarding Jane Fiddes listed as daughter of Robert Fiddes & Andrewina Munro] Her full name was Elizabeth Jane FIDDES daughter of Robert Fiddes a farmer and Alice Fiddes nee Bertram - so definitely not ours Also what you don't have is that Robert remarried to a Mary Ann Gallagher ... 18 Jan 1907 at 19 Union street Aberdeen, her parents were Patrick Gallagher & Mary nee Reid William [Fiddes] went to Liverpool and was a marine engineer. He died 1904 as did his wife, within days of each other and the two youngest children went into the orphanage ... Robert [Fiddes] was first born yet it seems James ran the business
