  - Death Notes
    
    "The relative that we visited in Winchburgh (next village to Kirkliston) was Helen Rutherford. She was the daughter of Grandad Thomson' older sister Margaret, who married and became a Mrs Crawford. So Helen her daughter married and became Rutherford and had a son George and daughter Margaret who were both older than Jan. Helen's husband died and sometime when I was very small, she had a son Douglas (illegitimate to someone she kept house for) and later in life married again and became a Mrs Haddow. She died a long number of years ago." She kept in touch with the Thomson relatives who emigrated to Calgary, after the Towers family lost touch.
