He came from Quarter in Hamilton, Lanarkshire. He married Ruby Sandiland's from Motherwell and when my dad, Jim, was born they moved through to Gorebridge, near Edinburgh. When my grandfather died my gran and dad moved back to Motherwell. I'd like to see if we have any other connections left in Lanarkshire. Thanks for taking the time to read this post Joanne xx
