<metadataxml><transcription>My Dear John, It may interest you to know something about your forbears, First, my Grandfather Salmond lived at Duntocher a village inland from Clydebank, where my father was born in 1836. He had two brothers, Peter and William. Both had to go to sea during the hungry time in the forties, and died young of Smallpox. M y farther was brought up by his Grandmother as his parents went to America to make a home but both died, frozen to death. My Father married Jane Alison about 1856, had 8 Children of whom your Father was the youngest but one. I remember my Great Grandfather Allison; he died aged 100 (my Mother's Father died before this time). My Great Grandfather Allison was a farme r at Gate Head Farm, near the Village of Bishopson, half-way between Glasgow and Greenoch; this is District where Father and Mother were brought up. Most of their family were born at Nether South Barrn Farm, Inchinnan, Renfrewshire, Scotland, Nr.Re nfrew.
