Robert Balfour was my relative. Thanks
(requested on 17 06 2021)
My name is Bally which is short for Balfour. I am looking for Robert William Balfour because if he had the children Robert born in 1841 and Gilbert born in 1843, and a son James born in 1845, he could be my grandfather if he also had the child Alexander Balfour born in 1844.
