I think it's understandable Jean gave her sister' name as nearest relative as her father was now remarried i.e. her sister is who she'd feel closest to?

He still shows there on the 1935 Valuation Rolls.

The 1940 Valuation Rolls shows entries for a William MacFall at a couple of different addresses. His son William could well be one of these?

Although Jean gave a Mrs Mary Cushnahan as her sister, she was we think a Mary Jane Girvan who married Edward Cushnahan. Other info earlier on this couple. No obvious link to the McFall family that we have found. Jean only had one sister, Margaret born 1906.

I think there's a chance William may have been killed during the war as Renfrew was one of the worst hit areas?
