Children of Margaret Meiklejohn and George Paterson are:

Margaret Elizabeth Gordon Haig Paterson was born on the 21st March 1921, 22 Park Street, Tillicoultry and died 14th September 1994, 26 Church Grove, Tillicoultry. She married James Joseph 'Paddie' Brogan 26th November 1945, St Serf's Church, Tillicoultry.

Dora and Jimmy Foster lived in Stoneyacre, Tillicoultry and her father lived with them. Dora and Jimmy divorced and she moved away with her father. They went to Cleveland in England where her father died in 1965. I don't know what happened to Dora, whether she re-married or had any family.
