Dumfriesshire / Re: Greenbrae Loaning Dumfries
« on: Thursday 04 March 10 18:32 GMT (UK) »
Hi Bert,
I was born April 1937 in Glasgow, moving to Greenbrae when I was 10, in the second half of 1947. So would probably be going up to High School just after you started at Noblehill.
I was friendly with a lad from Kirkowens Street called Terry Irvine (lived up a lane near Richardsons house/shop and a lad called Osborne, who lived in the houses across the Annan road opposite the cafe.
My recollection of the Lockernie road end is at least limited.
I remember a General store, I think second building on the left as you turned left into Lockerbie road. My memory is that the Butchers shop was always at the top of the Loaning. Time plays tricks eh, sorry not any help. Your right Louden ( he was a good bit older than me) came from a Navy family. His ancesters go back to "John Paul Jones" who was in some responsible for forming the American navy.
If I can help please feel free to ask, alas don't be too optomistic
Take care,
Dougie
