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.
