Surnames: Howie/Thomson/Short
Looking for any information about my aunt and her family. She arrived in Australia in 1927 from Glasgow, Scotland, the family here appear to have lost touch with her but I believe that about 1950 contact was made with the help of the Salvation Army. My mother and I went out to Brisbane and stayed with her for a couple of years.After we returned to Scotland there doesn't seem to have been any further contact. I wonder what became of them?

What I know

Name- Margretta Louisa Howie born 1901 Glasgow, Father James Howie, Mother - Mary Ellen Jenkins.
Married -John/James Thomson about 1930
Don't know if widowed or divorced but living/married with Perce Short 1951/3 when we were there.
I also had a cousin Eric who must have been born about 1930 would love to know what became of him.
Forgot to say they lived just off Webster Rd. In Stafford, Brisbane, and I attended Stafford State School.

Hoping someone out there might be able to help.

Hi Tania, you're.a star.

I now see as I suspected that Eric was born prior to Madge's marriage. I wonder if he was Perce's son or Madge's. The Howie family have given me quite a runaround as at first I couldn't even find my Grandfather's birth ( they all changed their surname to their mother's maiden name).

I wonder what happened to Eric, He would be about 85yrs old so it's possible that he is still alive. I'd love to know if he married and if he had a family. Have you any idea how I would go about that?
I was just thinking that it is funny the things that you remember or half remember, I wracked my brain and thought that the family lived in Liddle St. I'm pretty sure that after all these years that if the house was still standing I could take you there
If you have any thing that you need help with in Scotland let me know and I will do my best to help.
