While the army was burning the White House who knows where the rest of
the USA would have gone if they had stayed there?

Butter lentils? Share, share. The first thing that comes to
mind is an Indian dish, but I'd guess you mean something else.

Yeah right. If I had an extra, I wouldn't want to share it. :-D

One day we should do dinner. That would be cool. I'll supply the
ferret (for companionship, not a side dish)
I do have a good friend in St.Johns. That's at least somewhat close to
you, eh? A road trip to visit you both would be nice. Probably won't
ever happen but it's a nice thought.

St Johns is Newfoundland, I am nearer Saint John, New Brunswick,
perhaps a 3-4 hour drive from there. Yes, I would be delighted to see
you and Mia and introduce you to Winnie, that would be wild

I got this from a conversation between vegetarian friends on FB

Butter Lentils

1 cup lentils
1 tablespoon garlic
1 tablespoon ginger (I assume it's fresh/grated)
6 oz tomatoes
2-4 tablespoons butter
1 serrano pepper

1/3 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Cook lentils in water (covering by about an inch), drain water, then
stir in other stuff and 1 cup water.

Simmer for an hour longer, then finish with 1/3 c heavy cream and 2 T
chopped cilantro.

Don't go thinking the mistress/servant relationship was all like
Downton Abbey. In your Granny's youth, women were so low-paid that even
quite modest Glasgow families in urban houses kept a maid. You still see
older houses with a small room or bed alcove off the kitchen (oops, back
on topic) still called the maid's room.

also, check the next Census following his year of birth. Census entries
can show names of a child's parents, their occupations, address, and any
older siblings.

Even orphans might have their birth registered.

The passport gives his DOB, name, and place of birth, from which you
can search for his birth registration and certificate, then search
neighbouring parish church records for baptism. Birth cert or baptism
record should give his parents names.

The town is enough (and their names) to search marriage records
between year x and year y.

You can search in the public marriage records section using his name,
Glasgow the town you know they married in, her name, and the approximate
period when they married. (from her 16th birthday to the date they
emigrated). Your grandfathers marriage record leads to his marriage
certificate which should give the names of his parents (and his wifes
parents).

You can easily find marriage records online and from that, order a
copy of the marriage certificate, from Scotland.

Any UK military record is another rich source to be mined for

There's nothing dubious about the public records available from the
