Irene wrote......... Hi I asked my mother. She remembers Ching from Lamlash. She thinks his name was Crawford and he was a tradesman of some sort like plumber or joiner. He was married and older than my parents, (my father was born 1914) ====================================================== I have a family of 9 Crawfords born 1863-1888 to James Crawford 1837-1919 and Mary McMillan, (my GG Grandparents). They lived in Lamlash and had all their children there. James was a stonemason, originally from Lanarkshire, and they married in Kilbride. I have no knowledge of any Ching nicknames but you never know....... Unfortunately I didn't notice the original message re McMillans so can't judge if there is any link to my names. Cheers Drew NZ
