Hi Monica

Thanks for your email.  Yes, this is the same family.  I have managed to get all that info so far.  My grandmother's married name was Spiers.  She was married to Tom Spiers.

Interesting getting feedback so quickly.  Are you related via the Horsburgh family?

Regards

Jackie

My grandmother was Mary Horsburgh Spiers.  Her father was Samuel Horsburgh, mother was Janet.  I know that one of her siblings was Alex Munro (Horsburgh), his daughter was the actress Janet Munro.

I am interested in finding out more about the Horsburgh family.  I have only managed to find out bits and pieces.  The reason for this is that Mary had my mother out of wedlock, my mum was put up for adoption as a baby. 

Mary tried to get my mum back at the age of 2, there was a court case, my mum's adopted parents won and were allowed to keep her.  Mary was granted access to my mum from then on and visited us regularly from the USA until she died around 1975.  The sad thing is that I was always told that she was my Aunt Mary, I didn't know that she was my grandmother until after she died.
