Hi Californiadreaming,

Thanks for your suggestions and the link to the Glasgow Directory. I was interested to read about your family history in the same area as my parents.  Can you tell me where St. Joseph Primary was? 

I will have a better study of old maps of the Millerston St. area.. I know that my mother's family also lived in Bluevale St., before Millerston St.

....

Isn't it amazing just how much time we can spend on our research?? lolol.  There goes the housework again!!!!

Hi Maggs,

St Joseph's RC Primary was, at that time, in Raglan Street.  The building is still there but the school has moved to a new building around the corner.  If my memory serves research showed that the playground was on the roof!  Health and Safety would have a fit today.

You are so right about research and housework!  Currently I am on a roll with new information and the housework has gone to pot!
