Isabella Downie
who died 9th June 1892
(some of the stone is missing) then it continues

Trying to trace JONNY PATTERSON. Last known address as Vaila Street, Cadder, Glasgow. I believe he had sisters called Margaret & Ann, and a brother Dean who died in his teens. I believe he would be in his fifties now, but have no date of birth yet. Led to believe that he moved to london around 1974.

Any info would be most appreciated

I am looking for my half sister. I believe her first name is Julie although I do not know her surname. Our father's name is David James Jockel and since his name is unusual, I am hoping that might make it easier. At the time our father lived in the Govanhill area of Glasgow. Her mother's name is Mary and she would have been born around 1972. I was born 10 years later. I am lead to believe that my father and her mother split up before she was born and have not made any contact since. I know this is a long shot but I would be grateful for any information.
