Research Notes

Malcolm Fleming of Rathobyres

Father of Elizabeth Fleming

Note:

• His exactly connection and family relationship with Robert Fleming, for now is not known, but can said that they both are from the same family, but not from the same family branch, what for now cannot confirm. Malcom Fleming was related somehow to Robert Fleming, but is not sure did they both maybe are from same family branch. Did a Robert was a his brother or not, but Fleming branch in Glasgow, Lanarkshire and Ratho And Stobhill, Midlothian, Scotland based on the map Glasgow and Ratho is very distance places for connect a family branches and confirmation their family relationship each other.
