Ayrshire / Re: James Gray McLaren: death information?
« on: Wednesday 14 February 24 18:17 GMT (UK)  »

Thanks for the info  re AAM...
I did have Alison McLaren's death (I actually registered her death!) and there was most certainly a divorce...some time during the late 1960s I think it was...or early 70s at latest.
I also looked at some of the ships' listings as well in case he'd gone overseas, but family rumour has it he might have moved to England at some point.  Could of course have married again?!

Yes of course it's quite possible he IS still alive, though his daughter seems to think she remembers being told about his death but, because he was estranged from the family, it doesn't appear to have been validated.

Yes, that's quite possible.  I was hopeful that with a middle name this would make finding him a bit easier! ;D

Thank you Elwyn for your suggestion.  I think this is actually James' brother. The location is about right too I think for where the family lived at one point...  There was some thought that James (Jimmy) had moved to England (possibly the NE?), but again I couldn't trace anything.  I also know that the family, going back, had connections with Ireland.... It's like he has just vanished off the face of the earth!!!

Ayrshire / James Gray McLaren: death information?
« on: Sunday 11 February 24 18:17 GMT (UK)  »
Good evening,
Having run of ideas and attempts to trace this relative of mine, I'm hoping that RC might succeed where I have not!
JMG born in Cathcart Glasgow 24/9/24.
Married Alison Agnes McKinnon 26/7/51
divorced: sometime in the 1960s?
Mother:  Rachel Gray
Father:  Robert Findlay McLaren
Trained as a Mental Health Nurse and worked at Ballochmyle Hospital in Ayrshire in the 1950s.
After his divorce, he was last known living in Prestwick, Ayrshire and working as a Grocer (own business?).  Thereafter he disappears of the digital radar....  So trying to find out his death details (assuming he IS now dead) or his whereabouts post the  1960s....
Many thanks for any leads :)

It certainly moves the story along considerably Sandra and  I appreciate the time and effort everyone puts in to help people like myself ‘struggling’ with resources and ‘knowhow’.   You provide a wonderful resource...!!

Fantastic collection of family data.....as one volunteer said, knowing where to look is half the challenge....then of course finding the ‘right’ ancestor is the next!

Great work all round....👍

Great work ....will take some time to digest all this.  I do know that Georgina Robertson’s sister/husband emigrated to Alberta...at the same time she initially arrived in Manitoba in 1910/11 so there may be something in this connection re her family moving there....
