Hi Susan, If you could help me with the following I would be very grateful: I'm trying to trace my grandfather's parents. He was named Alexander Dalkeith Riddle b. c1920 and his parents were Frank and Margaret Mary Riddle. I don't know anything about them apart from the fact they were in Portsmouth when he died in 1945 and my mum thinks Margaret might have been from Ireland. The name Dalkeith is very unusual and the only instances of it I can find seem relate to Lord Dalkeith. Since Margaret was Irish, I assume the name must come from his father's side. I wonder if you can find any other Riddles with Dalkeith as a middle name? I can't think of any other reason he might have Dalkeith as a middle name. A very big thanks in advance, Crista
