Thanks so much for that its a great help.
My great great granparents were Charles Finlayson and Clementina Carrie they died in Brechin.  My great gran Betsy Meffan Thomson Finlayson was the second wife of James Bell and they went to Linthouse in Govan as he worked in the shipyards.  Two of Betsy's siblings stayed in Angus the rest emigrating to US or Western Australia.  Descendants of whom are now in contact.

Hi Norrie,

I see you have 'Holmes' listed - do you by chance have a William Holmes and Alice Allan?

Also looking for their daughter Margaret Holmes, who died within 1 year of being born, in 1934.

Also John Holmes and Ann Reid, and sons William (1932) and John (1937), who both died very young.

And any other Holmes you may care to enlighten me about if there's not too many, because they may be connected.

Thanks in advance,
Jo
