    Hi Annie,



    You must have other info to help in the search, if Annie and John were your grandparents, their child was your parent. So, Annie, please help us here what's your parent's name and when was he/she born? Also, have you any idea of the birth years of your grandparents'? Even a guesstimate could help

    Hi Annie



    Are you certain that Gran was Scottish, and not Irish??? If she lived there for 50 odd years, she may well have adopted a Scottish accent. [Friend of mine has been in Oz for only 30 years, but you'd think him a native]



    This is pure speculation.



    This family has only moved to Scotland some four years previously 1896/7, before William is born.

    Could John McLoughlen be Anne's brother?? Nice coincidence!!!



    They could easily have moved to Glasgow at a later date.

    Was Theresa Kenny the youngest sibling????



    If so it is possible, but unlikely, that she is part of the above family, I'm afraid, as Annie would have been 49 when she had her.
