Hi eveyone,

Hi stjoseph,
Thank you very much for the offer of looking up a census for me. I have since been on ScotlandsPeople after I didn't get an reply after I posted that message and found the census information I needed, the problem is I never deleted the post!! sorry.
I don't know how to delete a post, maybe you can tell me how to do it??
By the way are you from Dundee, your name is also a school here in Dundee, which by the way I attended. Thank you anyway for your kind offer.

Yes I am and I also went to St. Josephs
-
Hi again,
I only went to St.Josephs for about just over a year, it was the primary school across from the Whitehall theatre. When we moved to new houses outside the centre of Dundee my mother wouldn't let me travel on my own to St Josephs as I was only six years old.
My husband however was at the primary and followed on to the older boys school in Blackness Road Dundee, he was there until moving to secondary school.
All this is many, many years ago!!

we all moved as well to Ardler and got on two buses every day to go to school. I remember when it was a picture house called the State.

Hi again,
Ah the State cinema, that must have been a long time ago I remember the name but couldn't remember it was the cinema before it was called the Whitehall Theatre though.
I attended St. Michaels school in Graham Street, my husband was there too but I didn't know him at school, we met later at Robbies dancing in the Hawkhill.
I used to go to the Princes cinema on Saturday morning, it was on the Hawkhill.

Me again,
My hubby said he went to the State Cinema before it became the Whitehall Theatre later on, I didn't know that but he lived off the Hawkhill area so he did know the area better than me. He later moved to Fintry with his parents and 3 brothers.

we stayed at Peddie Street, until1968

Hi again,
I lived in City Road, hubby lived in Ryehill lane not far from where you lived in Peddie Street.
I moved to Douglas & Angus about 1953/4 can't quite remeber exactly. I used to travel down the Blackness Road on the Tram Car to get into town.
Oh old times, makes me feel so old now!!

I was born in 1958 so a wee bit before my time, but I'm starting to feel old also.
-
Old your not old, now I am old, 10 years older than you anyway.
Anyway your only as young as you feel.
Maybe the old Princes Cinema in the Hawkhill would be gone by your time too. We queued up every Saturday to see the movies for kids.
My kids went to the Gaumont cinema on Saturday mornings.
So when you were at St. Joesphs were you taught by Brothers or just normal teachers?

the nuns some were still there, and old maids

Hi again,
You must be talking about the primary school which was across from the State Cinema both boys and girls there mixed school, nuns were the teachers there.
Boys usually went there and then went down to the other St Joseph's boys school in Blackness Road which was run by the Brothers, there was a brother Sidney there he was the headmaster at the time when my husband was at the school.
Did you not have to attend this school? the building is still there, no longer a school though.

I was born in 1958 and went to the school across from the State. Sister Mary Bernedette and there was another one but have forgotten her name Mr McCormack was the head teacher.
