My “brickwall” is with my great uncle John GRAHAM born (from 1901 census) abt.1892 in Pollokshaws, Renfrew. To Samuel GRAHAM and Joan(nne) McKechnie GRAHAM . He grew up, married young, divorced, married a rumored cousin Kate; she died just after the war. John GRAHAM worked for Weir Pump as a draftsman and designer, there he met his third wife Peggy (Margaret). They lived 3 St. Ronan’s Drive Shawlands, Glasgow until his death ( when?) and then Peggy died around 1980. Still living in 3 St. Ronans. I am unable to find anything about this family no birth for John, no marriages, no deaths. Very frustrating and I am a good researcher. John Graham had no children with any wife. I have spent many credits searching ScotlandsPeople and have finally hired a researcher to go and physically look. Can someone give me some pointers as to where I am going wrong. This is driving me to distraction and red wine! Thank you in advance. Jocelyn Harrold
