I remember years ago the McSeveneys had a butchers shop in Shotts, don't know if it's still there.

Shotts is in easy reach of me Margaret, if you want me to make enquiries just let me know, with some
info to go on if possible. My own ancestors went there to dig coal in the 1800s.

If you view Jeanie's death record let me know if she lived in Stonehouse and I will check for a headstone

Hi Carrie,

William Montgomery and Jane Anderson Boyd were my G Grand parents, their daughter Ellen was my grandmother. I know very little about this part of my family as my grandmother, certainly in her later life, seemed to have very little contact with her wider family circle. My Mum always thought that there was a rift in the family. But I'm not so sure - maybe more likely because most of her family had moved to Scotland.


Do you know if Samuel and Margaret had any family?

Great to have made contact with a cousin.
