Hello. It is some time now since I posted any requests, but I am still researching into my grandfathers lineage and his life in Kilsyth. ( See previous posts on Comrie family) After having watched Alan Carrr on "Who do you think you are?" the other night , I did not realise that most pits at the turn of the last century had football teams to represent their respective mines. I have been told that the Comrie family ,who lived at 40,Newtown Street, Kilsyth, were quite sporty and had quite a few players in the local pits team. Can anybody please assist me in possibly identifying any of the players as being my relatives??? Many thanks. Picamarra.

Hello Picamarra,

Thankyou so much Wilton Endeavour. I did try and contact the Historical Society of Croy last year by e mail, but unfortuneately at the time had no reply. Good luck and best wishes. Picamarra.
