Fabulous Rob,

Margaret Ann Hall is my great great grandmother. She died young and John left her alone in Scotland to raise their children alone. It’s a very sad story and I’ve yet to find out what became of him. He left the family and never returned. Some things excite you and warm your heart when researching and other things you find out have you in floods of tears. This poor family like many others during this time went through so much.

I have a copy of Thomas and Eleanor’s marriage certificate if you’d like one, welcome to the family x

Hi all, hope you are all well.

I am wondering if anyone can help me pls I am trying to find (*) Fitzpatrick poss born around 1944/45 in Glasgow,. I am helping a dear old lady try and find him and this is what she remembers so far. He served in the Merchant Navy at Port Pirie in Glasgow?, he had 3 brothers, one was a chef, father was (*) so she thinks, Possil Road has been mentioned to.

His mother was called (*) but left when this son was about 3 years old. There may be a link to Sydney, Australia, there was a mention of a place called Barlinnie but from what I can see this is a prison!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so not to sure on this one, as just reading scribbles from notes on a paper.
