It took a while, but I've had a look & cannot find any of the names in the areas you mentioned.  It's always worth checking though!

Hello. Do you have a reference for Watson and McAughtrie families in Ayrshire please?
Thanks

Just a long shot, but do you have any McNabs in Glasgow - specifically a William McNab who had a "Sign writing" or "Showcard" business?

I have this book & am willing to do look ups for anyone who'd like to know more about their Scottish ancestors (who were still living in 1938). It's a "who's who" type of book & it even mentions people's hobbies as well as the usual genealogy, education, address, occupation etc.

Hi Flst,

Is there any mention of Stringer in your book? Glasgow area, especially if there is any reference to adoption, carpentry, crime, joining the armed forces and  the names Dominic, Michael, Jack, John and Patrick.

Thanks!
