John Rodgers - Cobban Branch of Family Tree |
elizabeth 1905 - 1972
Born May 16 1905 at 5 Market Street Huntly Scotland.
My information on Elizabeth is limited, but she was to marry William Forbes in 1952 and have 2 children - Sandy and Wade.
Marleen was the child of Norman Cobban (1911 - 1966) who was raised by Elizabeth (Aunt Lizzie). Norman was the child of Lizzie's sister Georgina (1895 - 1918) who took her life in 1918.
Marleen's parents separated not long after she was born but she was aware of her father's birth place. In search of Norman, Marleen visited Huntly in 1965. After enquiring at a local cafe, she was directed to Elizabeth who knew who Marleen was immediately.
Sadly for Marleen, Norman had moved to England and although she made contact with him through correspondence and had planned to meet him, Norman passed away before they could meet.
Below is a letter to Marleen from her Aunt Lizzie breaking the news of his passing.
