Scotland / Newton family
« on: Wednesday 08 September 10 06:24 BST (UK)  »
I am interested in hearing from anyone researching the newton family from Linlithgow and Fife area. My grandfather a miner at Cowdenbeath was killed in a pit accident around 1917 he was married to Margaret Anderson from the Wemyss.

I believe that my grandfathers family were from Three Mile Toun near Linlithgow.

Lanarkshire / Re: Dymocks buildings and the Beehive Brae

I was pleased to read the messages regarding the beehive Brae, I was brought up in the building opposite and many of the names are familiar to me. Yes, the picture house was the Buzzuki, the pub the Beehive, the shop was Matt and Jean Clow and I remember buying penny sweets on my way to the public school opposite.
Our name was Nicholson and we lived directly above the sweet shop, we all had gardens at the rear of our building and our house and the one next door were the only ones on our side of the street with a bathroom.
My wife and I returned to live further up in Myrtle Drive a couple of years ago and it was hard to see all the changes that had been made.
We went along to Bellhaven Church on Craigneuk Street and meet up with my friends from childhood on the Beehive Brae and for us to recognise each other.
I will contact my sister Eileen and see if she has any pictures of those early days.
