My dads past is a little sketchy as he always told us that he was adopted by his auntie. He spoke of a brother John and of a sister that died as a young girl. I am sure that is real mum was called Agnus. He was born in Thread Street in Paisley before leaving in his early teens to play proffesional ice hockey...........Any help would be really appreciated.

Julie-ann -- if you give his approximate age or date of birth it could help to identify and possibly locate him.

Hmm. His given name would also help. ;)

(It may have been somewhere attached to your post when you wrote it, but if so, then because of the stupid system here, most people can't see it.)

Also, if you look in the phone directory on line

there are only just over 20 Bremners in Paisley now, including four Js and a John. Wouldn't be too hard to just give 'em all a call and inquire! There's a Bremner car dealership too; just google

Bremner Paisley


Now I may have got it completely wrong -- it seems that your dad has died and you're looking to learn about his family. If that's the case, I'd say that contacting Bremners in Paisley might be the place to start.
