1. Her birth information - 1932 Ref. 897/00 19
Sorbie Isabella Marion Bond Stewart born 1932 October
15th. Father - no entry, Mother - Jean Stewart
(domestic servant) who later married James Heron
2. Her first marriage - 1949 Ref 889/00 2 Kirkinner
Joseph McClymont (monumental polisher) 20yrs of 34
Arthur Street, Newton Stewart & Isobel Marion Bond
Stewart (domestic servant) 17yrs of The Fever
Hospital, Newton Stewart
3. They had 4 children - Bryan, Janice, Josephine (who
are all still alive) and mum's twin John who died in
infancy (June 1955). Josie is Sandy's sister-in-law.
4. Her husband died in a motorbike accident in Newton
Stewart on 14 May 1955.
5. In 1961 she married James McCann (1961 Ref 644/12
341 Cathcart, Glasgow). He was 31 yrs, a bulldozer
driver who was divorced. She was 28yrs, a nuse and a
widow.
6. Mc Cann was born (1930 Ref 644/15 534
Hutchesontown, Glasgow) on 4 May 1930 t0 James McCann
(railway clerk) and Agnes McCann ms Burns who were
married on 30 March 1921. His first marriage was on 25
November 1950 at Balerno to Mary Alice Garret
(papermill worker) 23yrs. They were divorcedon 17 July
1958. They had 3 children - James Patrick (1951),
Michael John (1953), Kathleen (1955)
7. mum understands there was a child born in Glasgow
but we have still to try to check this out as the
record is too recent to access online. This may or may
not have been McCann's - we don't know.
8. James McCann and Isobel went to Australia leaving
her McClymont children in Scotland but we don't know
whether he took his 3 children from his first marriage
with them or not. As far as the possible child born in
Glasgow is concerned, again we don't know if it went
with them or not.
9. mum THINKS they went to somewhere starting with Q
but not Queensland!!!
10. We've checked the death records here for both
James McCann and Isobel but have found nothing.
mum would like to know if her mother is still alive
and if she has any other siblings. There is a story
that the mother tried to make contact after going to
Australia suggesting that her children should go out
to join her but the McClymont clan decided that this
was not an option.
