Thanks very much for the replies. The 3 kids were taken back to Donegal by relatives before 1911 and are in the census there.

West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Children's home in 1907 in Uphall/Broxburn area.

I'm trying to find out what children's home would some young family members who lived in Uphall in 1907 have been put in after their parents had died?

Their dad died in 1902 and their mother died in 1907. Both are buried in Uphall cemetery.

Donegal / Sweeney's Pub, Ramelton Est 1795
« on: Saturday 16 July 11 22:02 BST (UK)  »
Anyone have any info on the original Sweeney's Pub, Ramelton which is still standing with the name and Established 1795 on the gable end wall?

It is now derelict and looks to have been so for quite a while and its located at the old part of town facing the river.

That's great thanks. My dad used to meet my mum outside this pub and walk along to the chippy at John Brown's (Italian owned i think), then walk back along the road eating their fish tea.

Nae expense spared in those days.

Just came across the My Clydebank Photos website and found it fascinating.
Especially loved the old maps.

My mother stayed in the tenements on Hamilton Street which are long gone leaving an empty space opposite the new Farmfoods/Costcutters shops. I wondered would anyone know the name of the pub which sat on the corner of Hamilton St/Glasgow Road?
