His eldest son Sir William Chree was knighted and took King's Council. His<br />second eldest son, also called Charles Chree, became a famous physicist. The date of the "in memorium" communion table is interesting : 1928. This is the date Charles Chree junior died NOT<br />Charles Chree senior. My hunch is that Sir William, by then the only surviving child, commissioned the memorial for his father due to this "namesake" connection with his recently deceased brother.<br /><br />And it is true, than when a family member dies, it puts one in remembrance of other family members who have passed away even if, in<br />this instance, it was 35 years previously. And there would appear to be no doubt of the strong impression Charles Chree left with his<br />children. Never, as Gordon Brown would say, underestimate the power in being the son of the Scottish manse.<br /><br />The facts are here:<br /><br />http://histfam.familysearch.org/getperson.php?personID=I65207&tree=Fasti<br /><br />The deductions are purely my own.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217306675998382738noreply@blogger.com
