Hi Derek. There were two shops after Fred married Esther. She worked with him in the main street shop until it closed. Thereafter, they both worked in the Greendykes Road shop. The employees of the main street shop were Betty Wilson and Margaret Simpson and Lizzie ("sister") Margaret Tweedhope and Nettie Coulter (all now deceased) in the greendykes road shop until it closed - definitely in mid 80s I worked nearby at that time and was in it most days!

Do you have any additional information on the Tweedhope family that you could share with me?  My greatgrandfather was a Tweedhope and I am having difficulty tracing his family as Tweedhope seems to be a very unique name.  My great grandfather was Alexander Lees Tweedhope born illigitimately on 22 November 1892 in St Boswells, Roxburgshire, Scotland to Mary Tweedhope (born 1864).  Mary's parents were Christina Lees and Andrew Tweedhope.
