Hi

I found two War Graves on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission Website. I
am wondering if the two people are related to my CORNER Family.

This is a brief out line of my family:

David CORNER (born Sept 1816 in Wick) married Catherine Mackenzie ROBERTSON
(born Oct 1828 in Stornoway) They married on 3 April 1850 in Stornoway.

Their children are:

James Robertson CORNER (born 1852) married Emily WHITE
Andrew Francis CORNER (born 1854)
Roderick Miller CORNER (born 1856)
Eunice Jessie CORNER (born 1860) married Angus MACINNES
Catherine Isabella CORNER (born 1863)
Joanna Mary CORNER (Born 1865) married Harry PINSON

I believe they all moved to England.

I don't know anything about Andrew Francis or Catherine Isabella CORNER
after 1881. So if anyone can find them after 1881 that would be great.

Does anyone recognise these two men list with the War Graves?

Regards

Holly
