Paul Beck Hi again
                         Its dixie777 again just about forgot How to use this PC getting a bit lost at times, I had a mind to say that there was also a Hospital on the loaning but in my day in was the Scarlet Fever Hospital it may have changed from way back , We have one in Dumfries an Asylum  don't know when built but maybe then the one at Greenbrae  become a Scarlet Fever one the one in Dumfries is called The Creighton Institute Then ( new name The Creighton Royal ) its still there but what its fully used for don't know ( not being of that ilk I hope ) , It had padded rooms etc. the full work's for a person who was a bit slack in the brainbox area, This may help ? I also worked at ICI 63- 88 (19) that is, with a couple of lads one Norman Beck and the Vince Beck brothers There is also an Ian Beck who lives in Lockerbie now That's where I live, Now there you go all is ticketty boo.

Paul Beck HI came across your post in roots chat I lived in Greenbrae from 1942 to 1968 and I have came across this before "  Greenbrae House " in fact The House was not in Greenbrae loaning at all but in fact on the Lockerbie road , you come out of Greenbrae turn left towards Dumfries you pass Irving Terr on the left about 300 yards still on the left and there is a house sits back which is in fact the house I think you are looking for Jim Robinson the plumber lived there when I was there, if any good

Stoop Hi , Dixie here just came across os maps 1855 any good will try to attach

Hi Dougie, Bert Dickson here the name rings a bell but struggling a bit with the face, the Glendinnings I remember well, The son Louden was in the Navy?, the time was about right for our paths to have crossed I lived there from birth 1942 until 1968, you may be the very person to help me, in my original post I was asking about the last cottage at the top of the loaning on the RHS ( Lockerbie road end ) I was sure that the occupier used to sell Butcher meat from there before the shop ( Houston's) opened, and he was related to the farmer at the bottom next to Dalston Bank, I lived in Ivy Cottage across from the shop when it was only single story prior to the new shop Mathew McLaughlin & Bert Houston Butcher's opening in 1950 Both had sons that worked in the shop  Ronnie McLaughlin and John Houston other son Bert Houston worked and still does for the Standard news paper.
