It’s been a while since I’ve come back to this,
I’m still looking, I asked the national records of Scotland but they told me that I would need to petition Airdrie sheriff court for answers(thats the nearest sheriff court to my location) so that’s what I’ve been doing, I’ve sent them two e-mails but I haven’t got an answer yet so I guess I’ll just keep waiting,I have no idea what I’ll do if the thing ends up in court but hopefully it won’t get that way.

Its been a long time since ive posted to this, for anyone still interested i haven't given up on the case, every day i look through my DNA matches on various sites,old maps of the scene of the crime, and old newspapers to try and figure out a connection where everything could make sense, heres a summary of my situation:
Annie mckillop married William Brady on 16 April 1926, with him he had two children who were born at either sunnyside cottage or cottages:
Hugh Brady who married Moira Paterson,they had three children Anne,martin and Paul
Mary Elizabeth Brady who married Thomas o'kane and had peter o'kane
William left their family sometime around 1928 and between 1926 to 1933 Annie moved to 1 lefroy street where she gave birth to my grandfather Thomas Watson or Thomas Joseph Brady.
i was contacted by a match on my heritage that said that a lead might be through the mcmichael family of Daniel mcmichael and Mary mcclement (1834-1913) whos children migrated to Scotland, this match thinks that the man could be an ancestor of a child of theirs or maybe a grandchild.
If anybody has ANY information on this situation please leave a reply.

Helen Report 12 Mar 2020 20:18

yes i did, i found out a lot i didn't know before:
This information is as of 8 December 1947 so my grandfather is now 14 and has lived his life in a nearby orphanage:
John Watson and wife Mary (adoptive grandparents) lived at 26 whittington street, he was a retired labourer, and they lived with their two children charlie and Mary. (already knew this)
this was the very first time i found out something personal apparently William Brady
"Deserted wife five years prior to birth and has not cohabited since" so shes left with Hugh and Mary.
There was actually a permission slip in the file and it was signed by Annie mckillop herself.
i did not expect that and i dont know if it makes the situation better or worse, i felt weird when i saw it almost happy since now i knew she wasn't a ghost.
she was living at 62 Shakespeare street,roath,Cardiff,wales.

Yes, the above looks relevant. This is the birth for Ann b. 1935 and from the birth registration, it looks like George and Ann (senior) were unmarried.
