Big Brick Wall.....

Post by ASGROOMBRIDGE » Sun Apr 24, 2005 4:32 pm

I dont know if anyone can advise me I have spent the past few years looking for any referance to my Grandfather Andrew McGowan born 9/4/1884 in Kirkmuirhill Lesmahagow his parents were Hugh McGowan 24/2/1859 and Mary Anderson circa 1861. He married Mary Jane Semple 10/10/1885 on the 31/10/1914 in Glasgow. They had a daughter Janet McGowen then three boys then another daughter Margaret Semple McGowan 1/1/1921. They seperated in 1920. I dont even know if the boys lived or died. Andrew had two siblings Janet Fleming McGowan who married John McGregor and died in Carmyle in 1954 and a brother William 15/9/1885. Hugh died 18/10/1937 and Mary 27.2.1939 and at the time of death both lived at 983 Tollcross Road. Glasgow and their son William registered their deaths. I have traced the family back tp the 1600's but still cant find Andrew or the boys. Help please :cry: :cry: :cry:
Can anyone help me break this brick wall down.

Do You know if Mary Semple had any siblings? I am trying to trace a Semple line in Glasgow.
