Continuing my research on my Scottish mother's family I am posting a couple queries: l) My great-grandfather James Bottomley died at Dumbarton Castle in l880 and his wife Mary (Hayman) followed him in death in l887. Where is it most likely they were buried in the vicinity of Dumbarton? 2) James' parents were Thomas Bottomley and his wife Mary (Bridges), both of whom were deceased at the time of James' l868 wedding. Currently we do not have so much as a clue as to the origins of Thomas Bottomley, although Stockport, Cheshire was suggested in a vague family tradition. I will very much appreciate any suggestions or help from other son this List. Thank you. James Pearsall East Millstone, NJ USA
