Yes, sorry, I didn't think of that.
That is a very interesting thought. I think he must have been close to his sister Barbara. I have passed this on to my cousin.

The chap at https://en-gb.facebook.com/YourHistoricHamilton/ has, in the past, posted "requests for help", to which some followers have been able to assist. Might be worth asking him to post if anyone has links to the Ross or Reid families from Bent Road or Downie Street in 1940/50s.

That's an excellent idea! Thanks for that. I've had a quick look and there is a query there already for Bent Road but unrelated. It's worth a try.

Yes, I did see that death and the dates fit. I even searched in Ballieston for Jeanie but no success.  I thought perhaps they both moved there together.
All of Charles'  sisters died spinsters and I believe all of his siblings  were all deceased at the time of his death apart form Barbara and his eldest sister Janet Hay.

I have passed on to my cousin the suggestion that he try to go to a Scotland's People Centre. However, he lives in Cambridge so I think it will be a while before he will be able to do that.


You could maybe post a request for a look up if some one was visiting a Scotlands People Centre and had time to help

May be worth emailing SP with details as to whether it may have been missed on the indexing?

Without a definite date (as we've seen in the past with other queries) where dates have been known from Obituaries/MIs etc. SP are pretty good in looking into such matters.

It's definitely odd as she doesn't appear to be on a Passenger List/NA/Obit etc.

I have passed on both suggestions. I am so grateful for all of your help. It is very much appreciated.

Is there a specific page to place a request for a look up at a Scotland's People Centre?
