I read your email with interest.
We share a name and some background.
But also a coincidence.
I live in California but grew up in Kilmarnock.
We used to visit a Maxwell relative in Stevenson when I was younger. They were Maxwells so it was my great uncle. My father was Matthew Maxwell b 1921 and his father William Maxwell b 1886 and both lived in Glasgow (Pollockshaws) any insights
