Hello!
I am trying to trace some family history from the town but not really sure where to start - I have not had a lot of luck on the main ancestry sites finding records for my mum or her relatives. I am going to be visiting the town in the next few months and wondered if there were any local places that hold records which might give me some information to start off with.
My mum's name is Catherine (Irene) Butler (maiden name) born in 1946 in Burnside in the town (though she has moved away since) and my nan's maiden name was Helen McMillan Morran (born 1924) and she lived at one time in Davaar Avenue. My auntie was well known in the town although she passed away last year - her name was Helen 'Blondie' McClellan and she lived in the High Street for over 40 years. I also have an Uncle - John Butler - who has also moved out of the town many years ago.
My nan's parents were: John Morran and Ellen Hunter McMillan.
I would be really grateful for any help anyone can offer or suggest.
