Mary Virginia Eglinton aged 53 died in Glasgow 1982.  mmn shown as Ryan

There is no birth for a Mary Virginia McMaster around 1928.  A Virginia Mary Ritchie was b 1928 (Consular returns)

There is a marriage between Elizabeth Ryan & Thomas McMaster but it was in 1901 - 27yrs before Mary's birth

Riverside school was a primary school but where was your mother born & who were her parents?

The newspaper piece says her father was the late Robert McMaster.
She was given away by her uncle Mr Boyd
Cousins, Margaret & Eleanor Fowler of Fallin.
