Hope this information helps you out,

Also don't know if you live local or not but the name Horsburgh - is the name of a local Bus company so don't know but there might be some connection there.

Also found a birth cert for a Walter Paterson Speirs, Born 5th January 1895 At 7h 30 @ 30 Kingscavil Rows, Linlithgow.  Father: Robert Speirs, Shale Miner Mother: Agnes Speirs, ms Heggie.  Who were married on 21st December @ Linlithgow.  Thought that Robert may be a brother of Andrinas father?

Hope this helps, and is not too confusing.

If I can help any further please contacting me
I have copies of these documents, but can't work out how to attach them as e-mails, will try to work it out though

I have a James Carruthers Speirs born 1884 in Glasgow - he died in 1933 in Kingscavil, Linlithgow, so a connection seems very likely.

Not sure who James' parents were but he could be a brother/cousin to either Andrina or her father Walter.
