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.
