OBJE:_META | <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.
The History of your Mother, John - her Father, James Bell, was Head Gardener at Erskine Court, Bishopton. lsabella Hall Bell and I were married 1897 and had 3 Boys, James, Robert and John. She died 1909. Her Father and mother were South of Scotla nd natives.
This is an outline of our history, which I am sure you and your family will be interested in.
