Lanarkshire / Duncan McLaren Grocer
« on: Saturday 06 December 14 18:48 GMT (UK)  »
Duncan McLaren was my GG Grandfather. I believe he was a Grocer somewhere between 1880 and 1907. Not sure if this was in Paisley or Glasgow. I would love to know about his life as a grocer and where his shop was. Is the name familiar to anyone ? Not sure how to proceed with my search.
Thank you

Lanarkshire / Farmers Henry McShane & Johnn Toner
« on: Saturday 06 December 14 18:44 GMT (UK)  »
Both my GGG Grandfathers were farmers. I'm not sure if it would be in the Paisley/Renfrew district or Glasgow. Henry was married to Mary Coyle and John was married to Jane Sanderson. Would love to know where they were farmers. Does anyone recognise the names or have anything to add ?
Thank you
Mary  ;)

Lanarkshire / James Ferguson 1875 - 1958 (approx)
« on: Saturday 06 December 14 18:07 GMT (UK)  »
James Ferguson was my Great Grandfather. I would like to know more about him and a bit further back. His father was also James Ferguson and his mother Anne McDiarmid. They came from Govan in Glasgow i believe. My Great Grandfather was a professional organist i have been told. I would love to hear from anyone who shares the same family or anyone who can help me further.
Thank you

Scotland / Adoption and Fostering in Glasgow in the 1940s
« on: Friday 06 September 13 19:56 BST (UK)  »
Hi All,

I'm hoping someone can help with some information on this subject. I'll explain what it is i'd like to research. My Grandmother gave birth to my mother in 1943, sadly she passed away from TB aged just 27 in 1948 leaving my mother aged just 5. The identity of my Grandfather has been kept secret all these years which i cannot understand. Even if it was a serviceman, it was a scandal back then but not now. However we do believe that some family members know his identity but refuse to say. After the death of my Grandmother, my mother was taken to some form of social services in John St in Glasgow by a family friend. She took custody of her and my mother remained with this woman until her death by which time was already an adult.
We have no idea if mum was adopted or fostered. We also hoped that there may have been some information on the paperwork regarding the identity of her father. I cant even trace an old welfare place in John St in Glasgow.
Can anyone help with this in anyway possible. Any info on the welfare services in John St or who i should contact for finding information on whether my mum was fostered or adopted. Anything at all !!
Thank you in advance
Mary

Any information would be appreciated.
