well after near on 5 years since I started with the mcgilp/pringle family I have now found and in weekly contact with alexanders son who lives in Canada,it has been a long hard road to track him down plus I also found james pringles son inlaw in Michigan,so to everyone who is struggling to find family don't give up it has taken ages but I am so very happy with the outcome also had a few teary eyed moments on the phone to alexanders son who is now in his eightys,so few words of encouragement is DONT GIVE UP. eva xxxx

Hi Eva Yes my gran had 2 children James and William. I am also struggling to get info. on Thomas. I know from Quarrier records that he started work with a Mr. Simpson in 1903 but when there was little work available he was returned to Quarriers. In1906 he went to lodgings because he had sufficient wages to support himself. I do not know where he lived. It is so good to be in touch with you and I look forward to hearing from you. Rosiemay7 x
