Subject: Searching for Forbes

I'm searching for information on my Grandfather, John Forbes who lived in Motherwell. He died approximately 1946. Was married to Margaret Fraser and had four children--Archie, Annie, Jim and Dave. (Jim was my father). Circa 1910 they lived in Keswick, where John was the Gamekeeper at Lingham Estate.
Archie lived in Motherwell until he died. Annie (married Davie Gilchrist), Dave and his wife Elizabeth and Jim and his wife Jean Radcliffe lived in Wishaw. Annie later moved to London and Jim immigrated to Canada in 1954.

Hello. I saw this message the other day and thought I should drop you a line. I am David Forbes '(of Wishaw) grandson and John Forbes' great grandson. I think you must be my mother's cousin Ian. It would be great to hear from you and I know my mother would love to get in touch with you too.

I have got some family history information on John Forbes and the Forbes' and Fraser families which I would be delighted to pass on to you. Please drop me an email and we can get in touch. Best wishes

Euan
