We don’t believe Janet and the father of her child maintained any relationship however, Alan G Smith had contact with his paternal grandparents until they died. He moved from Gorbals to Mouswald when he was quite young (5 ish) and Janet remained in Glasgow. I think looking at Alan as the surname may be helpful. Also other possible names are Andrew and Alexander. They just appear on the family tree for no reason whilst other names like Robert and Graham appear often.

My sister remembers the directions to the grave marker (but not the name. Go figure) Alan G Smith was born in Gorbals in 1929 an his father had already left for the Palestine Police Force. We believe Alan G Smith’s father left the Palestine Police Force and joined the RAF (that detail may be incorrect) Janet G Smith was born in Glasgow in 1899 and died approximately 1972.  We are assuming (for the sake of research) that they were similar age. Many of the records that I have reviewed are of men much younger. Thanks for all your help and suggestions. I think a road trip to Scotland is in order.
