I'm a McGowan from Scotland.!!! I can't really trace many though.. Grandad James McGowan died in his 30s abt:1960 in Port Glasgow of TB, his mum (??Mary/Maria/Martha) died when he was young too and as far as I know he didn't know who his father was as an uncle raised him.. My dad ask me to try finding McGowan family before he died but Im not sure I can. X
