Lanarkshire / Re: "Sacred Heart hut", New Stevenston
« on: Sunday 22 February 15 18:13 GMT (UK) »
Hi re Sacred Heart hut. I am keen to explore this with you as my father used to tell me a story about his family donating a piece of land for the catholic church to be built on (as a young boy I was not much interested in pursuing this - now all his side of the family are gone and trying to do my family tree!!)
I believe they did stay in Nimmo's Row (certainly stayed in Napier Street) at some point and I suspect they were in the Holytown/New Stevenston/Mossend area from as early as around 1892.
Anyway, i am delighted to collect any info I can get for my quest.
My surname is Cowan (unlikely name for a catholic, however that's another story) and hope we can trade info here?
