Thanks for the family picture. I vaguely remember the name Matt Young. I think Dop is the one standing at the front. Looks very like him. what a huge family. Did Isabella not have another sister? My Mum seems to think there was but she is confused about it all. I was born in the house at 5 Gibson Street in 1945 but was only there for about 5 weeks until we returned to Edinburgh where my Father, Thomas Watson was from. I am sure Lawrence was still there then. Mum seems to think he went to somewhere called Shilton and lodged with someone there but not sure about this. I seem to remember someone called Gladys Young too.

Mum has only just started to speak about her father and wants me to find him so he can visit her. No use explaining to herwhy he can't but wonder if any of the older relatives (if there are any) can tell us why he went. If the subject had come up years ago we could probably have traced him.
