Hello Rootsweb listers, once again I'm trying to trace my Grandmother's family who lived in Lamlash from around 1903-1912. They lived in a house called "Arranton" (This may be 4 houses now) and is near the tennis courts. My Gran also had a friend called "Ching" - rather an unusual name so if anyone knows of this legend I'd be delighted to hear. John McMillan and Annie Gillan married in 1894 in Glasgow and at some stage moved to Arran. The family.Tom (b:unknown, but died when he was two), Annie or Nan (b:1896), Christina or Chris (b:1898), John (b:1900), Janet or Jenny (b:1902) and James or Bunt (b:1907), I can find no records of in the Scots Origins or IGI Records on-line, but I have the parents marriage certificate. Everything I know about the family is through word-of-mouth from my Grandmother, Chris. John went to Sydney, Australia to work on the building of the harbour bridge then went to Borneo where he was killed in a bridge accident. James was killed in the war in 1943. Tom I know nothing about Nan, Chris and Jenny were close sisters all living in the south of Glasgow all their lives. I do recall some stories from my Gran.................. They lived in a house with a secret passage down to the sea which the wind whistled up and made the wallpaper flap against the wall. My Gran caddied on the golf course (not sure which one) for famous people who came to play - even for the Prince of Wales once. Perhaps someone out there can make something of it all. These are my nearest ancestors yet I can find little about their records. Can anyone help. Brian Dobson Bedford, England
