Great Grandfather Scottish   

Gran's - Granma's    ---------?  *     

Bella -------?
who came
from? Cork     

* I'm not convinced the  word is a surname, becasue of the preceding <'s> at the end of the preceding word?

Cheers

I also think this is one person (eg: a mother) 'talking' about her Scottish gt grandfather, and then describing that relationship to her (eg: child) as gran's  granma's -----? *

eg: the scottish man is the mother's great-grandfather and the child's gt-Great grandfather. 

Could Bella's (surname?)  be 'Freer'?

Cheers

Hi AMBLY. Hello Prue

thank you both for your help
If it is who I think it is AMBLY the surname * could be Hayles

and Bella's surname is Jude.

Looking at it Prue I'd say it is Bella's friend who gave ------ card.
