Lanarkshire / Re: Garvie (Victor) in Strathaven
« on: Saturday 06 February 10 14:27 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Nick, William Garvie's eldest sister Mary Spiers died aged 89 years old on
  the 29th  January .She was cremated on the 5th of February .Iwas at the cremation and discovered that William's brother Tommy died last year.
 I spoke to Willam's remaining brother and sister David and Esther about their
 grandfather Victor (also your grandfather). They did not know he had married
 again but David said that he,Victor.was an Irish tinker and his birth had never
 been registered in Ireland.Apparently one of David's daughters had discovered
 this.
       You're right ,we are of the same age group. Iwas 60 on the 5th of February. It would be nice to meet up but I stay 8 miles to the north of Glasgow in a small town called Lennoxtown. However I will be in Nairn from the
 19th to the 26th of June. We could perhaps arrange something for then.
                                Bob Garvie.

The Victor Garvie you are looking for in 2006 was my great grandfather.
 He was born in Ireland.His father apparently married a Romanian gypsy.
 According to what  i was told by my father ,Victor was a farm labourer and was an expert on Clydesdale horses.I was told he came from the Armagh area
of Ireland and he came to Strathaven to work with a farmer who bread horses.
