hi,have you looked in the cromarty image website??,or are you the one making enquiries in there now, i remember your g.dad and i thought it was his daughter jessie who lived in bank street cromarty,i was passing the house one night when jessie came running out of the door saying that her father had died,the other person with me went in and comfirmed the death. is this the same family.they lived next to the watsons in bank street. i would have been around 15/16 years old at the time which would place the death around 1948 or 1949.
