James McCreath (1911 – 1989) married Rebecca Lough (??-1955) and  had six children:

Isabella Campbell McCreath  born 1933

James McCreath born 1936

Helen McCreath born 1938

John Alfred Neilson McCreath born1943

Rebecca Lough McCreath born 1946

Robert Thomson McCreath born 1948

Despite thorough search in the indexes of the General Records Office for Scotland, no subsequent trace of this family can be found – leading to the conclusion that they must have emigrated.  The mother, Rebecca, died in 1955 and the father, James remarried.  Of his new wife there is equally no trace.
