Thank you Stan for your help.  What a difference when a motorway goes through.

Family History Beginners Board / 24 Grove Street Glasgow
« on: Saturday 27 June 15 12:13 BST (UK)  »
I had a relative living in 24 Grove Street in 1920. He was Eddie Alexander McKnight and he would have been living there from the late 1980's. He was married to an Esther [Cissie] and I think they left Grove Street then as I have a Christmas card from her in 1921 from 568 Phonix Park, Port Dundas. They had a son Peter Barclay McKnight and a son Lawrence. I am in contact with their grandson so I will ask him if he has any photos of the area. He lives in Glasgow and I live in Australia. I googled the address and there was a result but I think the area has been redeveloped.

 Esther [nee Barclay] was my aunty, my father's[Duncan] sister. My father came out to Australia in 1927 with my Uncle Johnnie and my grandfather Peter and my step-grandmother. Essie had a sister Margaret [Meg], a brother John  and a younger brother Peter who we have lost contact with as he was given to an Aunty Jean and Uncle Arthur after my grandmother died in about 1911 in Glasgow. I would love to know what happened to him.
