Hi Allysa, welcome to rootschat. I had a look. There are quite a few Beggs but none in Caithness. There aren't any Coghills at all in the book, sorry to disappoint you.
Regards,

So nice of you to offer, Fist.  Have you got a William Dugald Paterson (1872-1940) who was owner of a funeral undertaker and car hiring business in Airdrie?

Thanks for your very kind offer.

I am looking for any information on James White, born 1878 and his sister Ariena, born 1871 and both died 1961.  I think he had a newsagent shop in Govan and they lived in Cardonald in the 1950s.

Kind regards

Sandra

Hello,
Thank you for your offer. I'm wondering if there is any mention of Lachlan Grant or Angus Clark both of whom lived in Argyllshire.
Kind regards, Nan

No mention of Angus Clark. You're in luck with Lachlan though!
GRANT,Lachlan, M.D., D.P.H., F.R.F.P.S., J.P. Physician. Craigleven, Ballachulish, Argyllshire. b.1871,Johnstone, Renfrewshire. s.of late Peter Grant. ed.Glasgow & Edinburgh Universities. m.1916, Catherine, d.of late John Clark; 3 d. Medical Officer, Balluchulish & Kinlochleven; Bacteriologist, Argyll County Council; Consulting Medical Officer, British Aluminium Works, Kinlochleven; Medical Officer, Prisoner of War Camps, Kinlochleven, during Great War. Author of "New Deal for the Highlands"; "Puerperal Temperatures & their Prevention"
I hope this is the correct Lachlan Grant.lol
