But poverty in Ireland drove many to cross to Scotland. My great grandparents (parents of Margaret Wilson who married John Stalker Gaull) came over following the famine and both were illiterate according to marriage certificate of 1872 in Hamilton near Glagow and also orphans. Joseph Wilson worked in the mines and Ellen or Eileen Kerr worked in a factory. I wouldn't be surprised if Agnes has committed a simple theft just to put food on the table.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17133894024527129116noreply@blogger.com
