Find Ancestors

My father, John McKinlay was born in 1905 in Glasgow, Scotland, and passed away in January 1987. He married Isabella Meighan and had 9 children - James, Margaret, Mary, Jean, Cathie, Isabel, William, Joseph and Joan. John's father was James McKinlay and his mother was Mary McKenna. His wife, Isabella's father was William Meighan, and her mother was Jane Anderson. I have not had any luck with family members finding out anything about this McKinlay family, and would appreciate any information anyone would have. Thanks. Joe McKinlay
