I am looking for further information about my grandfather, William Galloway Whitelaw (b. 8 March 1895 in Armadale, Blackridge, Scotland) and his parents (my great grandparents) William Whitelaw and Margaret Galloway married 1892 [thank you George Whitelaw]. William Whitelaw was a proctor and pattern maker for the Blackridge coal mines. His son, William Gallow Whitelaw served with The Royal Scotts 2nd Battalion 1st Regiment during WWI.

William Galloway Whitelaw was one of 12 (?) children born to William and Margaret. Known siblings include:

•Gavin Whitelaw -- older brother; served in WWI and married a woman named Dot (Dotty). They had one son, William (Billy) Whitelaw (b. 1924). Billy served in the merchant marine and sailed for a time on the ship Tongarira.

• Andrew Whitelaw -- younger brother, may have died in flu epidemic early 1900s

• Nan and Peggy Whitelaw -- twin sisters

• Betty Whitelaw -- younger sister (?), married a doctor

Any information or introductions to people who many know more would be greatly appreciated.
