Once more please accept my gratitude for your help.When I have a few moments I will double check the details that I have for her.I think that at the time of my mother's birth in Bethel Cottage the Pauls and the McAllisters lived next door to each other in Greenbrae Loaning.

Thank you Graham.How do I access the RCE ? Also I haven't got her certificate.She died on 2/2/29 at a house cal;led DELVINSIDE,Greenbrae.I have yet to find out where the house is.Elizabeth McGeorge McAllister was also a wine merchant / grocer in her own right. and had a shop on the corner iof Balmoral Road and the Lockerbie Road.It is now not there but there may be photos somewhere of it.She married James McAllister ( Blacksmith ) 18/6/1875 at Greenbrae Loaning.in 1876 they were at Crown Close.High St and by 1879 they were at Lindsey Place,Greenbrae.

Further to my previous reply.
Thomas McAllister was a bandsman and also worked at Grieves ( Printers ) before losing his life in the war.His father was James McAllister who was a master Blacksmith - they lived in Lindsey Place and also in Greenbrae Loaning at one point.
The photo is of Jane Howland ( nee PAUL ) outside Carricklea at Wanlockhead and was taken about 1935-40 I would guess.

Once again - Thank you so much for your interest. I remember with great happiness the holidays my sister and I spent with Aunt Lil ( JARDINE )  and Uncle John and their family at The Stoop.Uncle John used to keep greyhounds and we would go with him to exercise them each day further down Lockerbie Road near to  the John Peel centre but the opposite side of the road..Their son John Jardine was a folk singer.He died earlier this year.
Going back to Greenbrae Loaning - Aunt Nettie ( CARRICK ) and Uncle Walter lived in Milburn Road and then at the corner of Greenbrae Loaning next to the Butchers.

Sorry - I had problems with the computer.My mother ( Peggy ) Margaret Paul left Dumfries to go into service in Yorkshire and subsequently trained to be a Salvation Army officer. I was hoping to update my info with Sue from Australia.The saddest thing that I as a Genealogist have ever had to do was to enter the details of my middle son's death in 2005.Bob  a soldier was discharged medically after a head injury accident on exercise.He died during a seizure aged 43 years.One thing that I am desperate to find are photos or any details of the shop on the corner of Balmoral Road and the Lockerbie Road.My Gt Grandmother Elizabeth McGeorge McAllister was the owner.She died in a house called DELVINSIDE and again I would love any photos/info on that house if possible,.Each saturday my mother had to go to the shop to collect e few pence which we now know was maintenance foir her mother from her father.I didn't start researching until after my parents deaths so they never knew what contacts I had made..My mother had three half sisters and a half brother whom she never met.We had a wonderful reunion at my house with them a few years ago.Her half brother was the image of her.
