Note* My grandmother was born in the Summerlee district of Coatbridge, a true daughter of the Iron Burgh, and third generation Irish in the biggest "Little Ireland" in Scotland. I have nothing but fond memories of my grandmother. A woman of striking looks, and despite having to bring up an extra-large family, always had a zest for life, and was full of love and affection for her children and grandchildren. In this respect I feel sorry for my younger cousins who missed out on experiencing this wonderful person. My grandmother was a Catholic who married a Protestant - something which was a taboo in Coatbridge in the 1920s, and although her children were brought up as Protestants, she remained a Catholic. There wasn't a bigoted atom in her body.
Before she married my grandfather she worked in the printing firm of Christies as a machinist, and true to the McCutcheon habit, a couple of her daughters would later work for the same firm.
To her friends she was Maggie, but Grandad simply called her 'Meg'.
She died on a sunny day in August 1964. I can remember the last time I saw her. My dad dropped her off just along the street from the McCutcheon home at Barrowfield Street, it was a few days after my 10th birthday. she had got me pyjamas for a birthday present. Me being a little ingrate mumbled that I'd have prefered a toy instead. I can't remember but probably she shook her head and smiled at me. Later that day she died of a cerebral haemorrhage. The very next day her elder brother Frank McCall passed away after a long illness.3 
Occupation* 1925 Printer's machinist1 
Married Name 3 Jul 1925 McCutcheon1
