       Thomas Cairns Livingstone

      Born 4 June 1882 at 10 India Street, Rutherglen, the only one of six children of Joseph and Mary Livingstone to be born in Glasgow. Josephine, Lily, Duncan, Samuel and Mary were born in Lurgan, County Armagh, in the north of Ireland. Thomas’ mother died in 1884 when Thomas was aged two, and he was raised by his father, his older siblings and his step-mother Jane. The family moved to 4 French Street, Bridgeton around 1900. He was schooled in Rutherglen and took extra classes in English and French.

      Thomas started work in 1895 and began courting Agnes Smart Cook in 1903. They were engaged on 19 December 1908 and married on 10 June 1910 in Agnes’ home at 37 Whitefield Road, Ibrox, by the Reverend John Tarish of the Tron United Free Church.

      Their first home was at 20 Morgan Street in Govanhill, where their son Thomas Cairns Livingstone Junior was born in 1911. They moved to a tenement house at 14 Morgan Street in 1913.

      Thomas worked as a mercantile clerk at 170 Ingram Street in central Glasgow in the offices of the firm of Paterson, Baxter and Company, which manufactured linen and sailcloth. Given that this address was in the heart of the warehouse district of the city, manufacturing may have taken place at different premises.

       Thomas Cairns Livingstone Junior

      Born on 9 August 1911, the only child of Thomas and Agnes. Attended Victoria Primary School in Batson Street, Govanhill. At the time of his birth, it was the custom in Scotland to give a first son his paternal grandfather’s first name and his mother’s maiden name as his middle name. This happened with Thomas Senior in 1882, but when it came for him to name his son, he broke with tradition, choosing to continue his own mother’s maiden name rather than that of Agnes’ mother. Generally known in the diaries as Wee Tommy.

       Claude Maxwell

      Brother of Miss Maxwell, Wee Tommy’ teacher in Victoria Primary School. He joined the Royal Highland Regiment (the Black Watch) as a Private and was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Durham Light Infantry. He was wounded but served the full term of the First World War.
