West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Re: Grocers Shop in Broxburn

Hi,
The owners of the shop were my aunt and uncle. Margaret Tweedhope was the wife of Nicholas Tweedhope and had two daughters Christine and Lorraine. Her maiden name was Sutherland I believe. As far as I know Nicholas Tweedhope was born in Broxburn as he was one of my father's long term friends from school days. He is still alive an dliving somewhere in Broxburn though he must be in his 80's now.
Regards
Carol

Hi Derek,
The lady is right about the sweets being sold in Greendykes Road shop though not correct about the Main Street one being run by his sister. The Main Street one was run by his wife Minnie and I think it may have closed after her death as he only had the one shop when he married my aunt Esther. She is also correct about both selling fruit and veg and the Main Street shop selling flowers.
