Can anybody point me in the right direction, please? I'm trying to establish links between the Mather family and the Thomson family in and around Kirkintilloch & Condorrat. The Thomsons were Grain Merchants and Millers (Wood Mill, Dalshannon, Hill Head). I have no Mather names but have vague recollections of visiting in early 1950s to what may have been a Mather Farm: there were goats to milk!

Hi
I have been researching the Mathers from Provanhall in Easterhouse and they had cousins who owned Balloch farm in the Smithyston area of Cumbernauld.
Have not found any links to a Thomson and the ones that I have found died before the 1950's.

On Scotlands People, there is a marriage in 1935 of a Robert Mather to a Margaret Waddel Thomson at Cumbernauld. It's a long shot though, because you don't have their first names.

That is the link I was seeking! Margaret Waddell Thomson was daughter of Robert Thomson & Ann Fyffe of Wood Mill. Many thanks for the info.

Margaret Waddell Thomson was my 5th cousin once removed, through her great-great-grandmother Mary Waddell. I'd love to have any information on her descendants.
