George E. Shotbolt appears to have died long before 1964, as indicated by his daughter's wedding intimation in the Glasgow Herald on 4 November 1957, viz:-
PATERSON/SHOTBOLT - At St. Andrew's Scottish Episcopal Church, Ardrossan, on 2 November, 1957, by the Rev. Eric Newman-Walters, LL.D., STUART HODGSON PATERSON, D.A., A.R.I.B.A., younger son of the late John K. Paterson and of Mrs. Mabel Paterson, Hazel Bank, Airdrie, to MARGARET LILIAN, younger daughter of the late George E. Shotbolt, and of Mrs. Mary Shotbolt, Balmaha, Seafield Drive, Ardrossan.
The much earlier wedding of another daughter was intimated in the Glasgow Herald of 13 January, 1948, viz:-
THOMSON/SHOTBOLT - At St. Andrew's Church, Ardrossan, on 10th January, 1948, by the Rev. John Symon, M.A., THOMAS JAMES THOMSON, M.B., Ch.B., son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Thomson, Stoer Park, Airdrie, to JESSIE SMITH, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Shotbolt, Balmaha, Seafield Drive, Ardrossan.
It must be doubtful that either of these sons-in-law would become part of the Metallic business since they both had very definite professions of their own - Architect and Doctor - but if the daughters involved themselves you at least now know their married names. I haven't come across any mention of a son or other siblings.
As a matter of passing interest Jessie Shotbolt's husband, Thomas James Thomson, for his services to the medical profession, was awarded an OBE in 1978, a CBE in 1983, and a Knighthood in 1991. He died in 2013.
