THE COUSINS (YHEEHAAA!!)

I have quite a large family of cousins, from my mums side of the family, all being..wait for it...Smiths! Our family, being mostly kilt wearing Haggis eaters :-) have scattered all over the world.

Uncle John and his family are in Australia (Queensland) and has three children

Liam is based in Saudi Arabia and has been so for over 20 years, enjoying the lifestyle.

Angela, his sister, lives in a village just outside Dumfries. She has three sons.

Yvonne, their sister, still lives in Glasgow, living "in sin" (grin) with Joe Boyle, happily for 11 years. They own a stained glass design & manufacturing company. called Glas.Works Glasgow
You can go to their web site HERE

Sad to say, their other sister, Irene passed away recently. All our thoughts and love go out to her husband John and her smashing daughter April.

Here is a picture taken in happier times at Angela's wedding in 1980.

Tricia also has one son and one daughter

Margaret-Ann has recently re-married to John Chapman. Many congratulations to you both.

There are many other cousins, and as I get more information, I will add it to this page. Emma and Jacky are putting together the family tree and I hope to add to that eventually as well. If you have any information about the family, please E:Mail me at:
