Looking For An Old Friend.

[tourdeforce]

Hi,

My name is Sylvia McMahon (nee Kerr)

I'm trying to find a school friend maiden name Catherine McNaught.

She married Edward Murray. They both attended St Augustine's Secondary in Milton, Glasgow.
She lived at Tresta Road, Cadder, Glasgow as a child.

Her mother was called Hannah, father David, sisters Anne, Martha, Hannah.

Catherine's husband was called Edward who had brother Gabby (Gabriel). Edward was an engineer. They spent some time living in Nepal.

Catherine and Edward have four sons David, Lewis, Rudy, and ???.

Catherine's sister Anne lived in Livingston.

Martha was a chiropodist who sadly lost her husband. She went to Uni and then became a solicitor.

Hannah was a nurse who I think married a doctor.

I believe Catherine may haves lived in Garrowhill for a short time.

Our school friends were Maureen Ryan, Anne Geggan, Margaret O'Niel, Rose O'Donnel.

Catherine Docherty, Catherine Coyle, and Kathleen Shaw all lived in Cadder.

I would be so grateful for any information that would help me trace my friend. I think she turns 70 in 2019 and it would be wonderful to catch up on our lives.

Any help in passing on this information would be very much appreciated.

Looking forward to any information you might have.

had you thought about joining facebook and posting on the local pages?

Hi Woof,

I've tried the Facebook idea today, but just thought that the more places I try, the better the chance of any results.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Hi I'll try and have a good look through ancestry tomorrow for you tourdeforce. x

Good luck with your search .

Very strange to see someone's real name on AB!
Good luck in your search from a fellow Glaswegian (southside, so no help)

[tourdeforce]

Thanks for your all your good wishes.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Just a quick google for Catherine Murray shows there are about 200 with that name on the UK electoral rolls.Why don't you search for the more unusual like Gabriel or Rudy and go from there . I am not saying that you will be successful but if you could contact one of them ,they might be able to tell you about your friend.
Another thought ---some of the names sound like Catholic ones. Parish priests in some of the areas you mentioned might be helpful. Good luck !

If you google Glasgow Guide discussion Boards and put St. Augustines School in there is a thread discussing and reminiscing about this school.

Hi, I've looked extensively through ancestry and there is nothing useful there , then it dawned on me that I need to be looking in Scotland's People instead, I've done a quick dearch and there are results but I can't see them as I don#t have an account, but there are births marriages and deaths for Catherine McNaught / Murray so I think you'll be able t find what you need there in terms on at least some information. their website is here:-

If I can be of further help just let me know x

[tourdeforce]

Thank you all for your advice and good wishes. I will try them all.

Kvalidir, thank you for your offer of further help. Should I need it, I will be back in touch.

In the meantime, if anyone could possibly help with a direct contact, then please do not hesitate to let me know.
