My grandfather, Robert Hobson was born in Glasgow around 1880. He was the son of Robert and Anne Hobson. The father, is listed as a baker in Glasgow. There were four other children, namely Walter, John, James and Mary. Can anyone guide me in finding out about this family?

My other Grandfather William Ligget resided in Glasgow during the early part of the 1900's. He was an Irishman, originally from Portadown. He married in Glasgow and had a family there. Would anyone who thinks they may be connected please get in touch? jean.crawford1@btinternet.com
