I am trying to find more about my Grandfather's family. He was Robert McMillan b 1875, married to Elizabeth Forrest 1902 and they had three children before emigrating to Canada from Glasgow in 1913. I can't trace any of Robert's siblings. His father, Robert Shaw McMillan, b 1850 was married in Glasgow to Agnes Harley in 1873 and I know of no siblings of his either. His father,also Robert, was born somewhere in Ireland around 1826 and married Jane/Janet Hamilton in Scotland I think.
Can anyone help please?
