James Strain born April 8th 1911 in Kilwinning, father possibly William Strain. Passenger lists on Ancestry show possible siblings David and John, and older relative Mary. James was my uncle's father, but he unfortunately shared little information about the family with him. I found several Strains buried in Kilwinning here http://www.ayrshireroots.com/Towns/Kilwinning/Kilwinning Burials 1870.htm Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
