I was very interested to read the Coats messages. My Great-Uncle David Ross was born and grew up in Paisley. He worked as a Translator for the Coats' factory in Vienna, Austria. He was interned as an 'Enemy Alien' during the First World War, and I think that he was made to work on a farm in the Tyrol. After the war, he married a girl from Vienna and he was sent to the Coats' factory in Lucca, Italy. Their son (my father's 1st cousin) was born and grew up in Lucca. David, his wife and son remained there until the Second World War began, then they had to escape back to Glasgow. David died in 1954. Two of his sisters worked in the offices of the Paisley factory. Agnes Ross died c. 1940, and Mary Ross died c. 1960. Does anyone know if there might be Coats records for any of them anywhere? Cyndy
