Family History Beginners Board / Duntocher Laddies
« on: Wednesday 25 January 12 13:57 GMT (UK)  »

Hello all

New to this so bear with me please. The last 2 pics on page 3 of the Duntocher thread includes my grandfather Daniel Black, brother of (David) Borland Black and a well known quoits man in his day.

Dan is

Front row -4 in from right pic 1
Back row - 5 in from left.

Dan had 4 brothers, David Borland Black, William Watson Black, Archibald Black, George Paterson Black.  His Father also Daniel was killed in Dec 1914, WW1.

If anyone wants more information on the Black family of Duntocher/the Hardgate please let me know.

Dan was a lovely man and a real thrill to see him as a young man. Thanks for posting

Sorry to take so long in replying. Many thanks to everyone who has posted on this thread and especially to Allan Coyle who mentioned the names of a couple of boys in the photos. I would also be intrigued to find out more about the "Black Diamonds". I must ask my dad when I speak to him next. I was wondering Allan, if you would mind showing another few photos to your grandfather. They were among my gran's photos, so there will definitely be a Duntocher connection - she died about 10 years ago and no-one in the family now knows who the people are in the pictures. It's a long shot maybe but you never know. I'll post the pictures on this thread later once I've scanned them.

Many thanks,

Griogair
