Hello Catherine
It was great to get your message and to find that we are distant cousins. My grandmother (Caroline Louisa Mackison) was the daughter of Thomas Finlayson Mackison by his second wife Emily Anne Mackison (nee Atkinson). She was born in 1887 and died in Feb 1969. Granny married my grandfather, Arthur Frederick Walter Cullingworth, in 1913 (I think) and they had three children, Frederick Arthur, Louie (my mother) and Thomas Mackison. My mother married Robert Cameron MacIntosh from Glasgow and I was born in 1946. My uncle Fred didn't have any children but my uncle Tom had two children Sally and Simon Cullingworth. I have two daughters, Caroline and Rowan. Caroline has two sons, Oscar and Lucas and Rowan has one son, Elliot.
I don't know if you have any info about my granny's half sisters (Thomas' daughters from his first marriage) but I know little more than their names - Connie and Kate. I think Connie married a Mr Collen and Kate married a Mr Ashworth. I think Kate had two children and until about ten years ago we believed Connie had no children. We were then informed by the official solicitor that she had a daughter (Patricia) who had been in an institution since the age of 10. They were trying to trace her relations. This came totally out of the blue to my mother!!
I would be delighted to have a copy of my great grandfather's obituary as I had been thinking of trying to get a copy from the Stirling newspaper. Would you be able to e-mail it (*) or if not, I will let you have my address?
Great to hear from you.
Sheila
