HI Mags,
Where did you get the info that Mary Jane and William Salmon had 8 children in total, 2 of whom died?
The only Williamina Salmon I can find on the internet was the daughter of James Salmon and Helen - this family also lived in Glasgow.
I wonder of one of their children was named Polly. Dont spoz you have that info?
CHeers,
Nicky

Hi I am tracing my family tree and came across your post - My great uncle Samuel John Johnston (Maternal Grandmothers brother) Was married to Mary Salmon.  He was killed during WW2 1/5/44. I have attached their marriage lines to see if it is of any help. Mary was killed a few years later.  They left two children and I wonder if Henrietta may have adopted them and took them to Canada

I'm not sure actually , my dad was adopted by Peter Salmon and Henrietta.  He was born on the 29/8/1916.  Henrietta, (my grandmother) died from cancer in 1931 at 35 St Mungo Street Glasgow.  Henrietta (my dads stepsister) was born in 1919.  she later married a George Riddell and as far as I know emigrated to Canada.  My dad never spoke about his family, so I am going on names my mum told me.  He did mention spending much of his childhood in Paisley, but his adopted family originated from Maryhill in Glasgow.  His birth mother was called Bridget Murphy and he was born in the Rottenrow maternity hospital and his mother had him christened.  I have had no joy trying to trace Bridget.

Samuel Johnston who was married to Mary Salmon was my Grandmothers youngest brother, he was killed in India and a few years later mary was killed in a road accident.  They had two children born around 1934 and 1935 I have been trying to find out what happened to them after they were orphaned.  Maybe Henrietta or William adopted the or they stayed with the grandparents.  My aunt seems to vaguely remember Henrietta emigrating to Canada but can't be sure.
