What I have is a death notice for W.O. Clazy, writer, treasurer of the Kilmacolm Golf Club, youngest son of Rev. George Clazy, Paisley, september 1906 and an RS Clazy who died in 1944 whose name is on a war memorial in Kingskettle.  RS Clazy was survived by his wife Helen Mary Margaret...of Kilmacolm.  What I would like to know is if W.O. married and the maiden name of Helen Mary Margaret and were there any children of either union?

Any help most appreciated.

Hello Sharon,

My name is David Robert Clazy and I am the grandson of Robert Clazy and Helen Clazy (as she was at the time).

I was brought up in Balmalcolm, where my Granny (Helen) had lived and worked her whole life. My grandfather (who I never knew) was killed 5 days after D-Day, serving as a Lieutenant in The Black Watch, and is buried in Hermanville, France.

They had two sons - Michael George (my father 1933-1991) and David Rowat (my father's younger brother 1936-1941) who died in childhood.

My Granny (Helen) passed away in 2001, buried in Perth, and my father passed away in 1991, having seen service in Korea as a Captain in The Black Watch, buried in Kingskettle.

I hope this helps fill in some of the gaps.

Regards, David.
