Post by: genefinder on Monday 05 January 09 01:16 GMT (UK)

Hi
My ancestor came from seagate i would like to know if there is such a place or was that a street?
I have tried to get it on the web but it puts up the name of a road. :)

Hi Gene,
Could it be the street called Seagate in the city of Dundee ?
Have a look at www.dundeecity.gov.uk/photodb/wc0589.htm and
www.dundeecity.gov.uk/photodb/wc0586.htm for 2 photos of it.

My Dad was born in the Seagate in Montrose in 1911. I remember taking him round that way some time in the 1970's and it had all been redeveloped.

I remember him trying to get his bearings, and in the end he said, "I must have been born about where that 'No Waiting' sign is"

Hope this helps!

Just thought I'd add my two cents!

There's a street called Seagate in Arbroath too.
