William Blair born Scotland (*)
« on: Wednesday 22 December 10 00:08 GMT (UK) »
Seeking descendants of William Blair who was born in Motherwell, Scotland in (*). His father was John Blair and his mother Mary Curran. Sadly, Mary died 1 week after Willie was born and his father re-married a couple of years later. All contact with his mother's family was severed because of a dispute over custody of the children (there was an older child, Catherine).
I have discovered that Willie went to Canada and married a lady (*) at St Francis R C Church in Montreal in 1963.
I would dearly love to pass on some family photographs, especially of Mary Curran and her mother Sarah Sweeney.
Mary was my mother's cousin and I have lots of family history from the Curran side.

Jim Leonard,
Motherwell, Scotland.
