Thanks for that Andrew. I think Maggie & Mary will be John's wife Mary and their daughter - ages are correct and the rest of the family would have been old enough to be married. Though you're right, she gave her maiden name in 1881, even though the children were Logies. (John was elsewhere on that c...

Thanks Sarah - hope to make a visit soon.

John committed suicide in 1892 in Paisley at which time he was living in the Mode...

These things happen to all of us, but it's great to catch your boss at it. Found her in the kitchen at work making herself a coffee and I start making my tea.

Hi Paula - glad you got home safely. I think we all enjoyed ourselves (I know I did) and your reaction to Sporran was magical! Next year? Well, I seem to remember someone offering tea at Betty's so we might do a repeat performance sooner than that. Are you there Davie ?? :lol: To all who couldn't ma...

Steamin' and bloo'ered ( don't know how to write a glottal stop, but it was essential) were two in common use in Stirlingshire circa 1970.

No personal experience of either of them

Nae problem Maggie - it wasn't any kind of criticism! "Attempted" refers to the state of my email system at the moment thanks to spammers

I didn't intend to embarrass you!
