Dave,


Your daughter appears to be very gifted.  It looks just like it did when I was small child looking up to my grandmothers windows in Dumbarton Road.  We would get the Renfrew Ferry across the water, and I would be dragging my mother past the allotments, in a hurry to get there to see if my gan had been making soup. Her soup was the best.

I'm coming home for 6 weeks on the first of July and her sketch has just made me all nostalgic and more desperate to get home than ever.


Christine.

Hi,
I have ancestor who died in 1929 whose usual address was 3 Gibson St, Glasgow.
He  lived in the Calton area until around 1905 before returning between 1925 and 1929.
I have not yet established why he returned to Glasgow, when the family were in Perthshire (for work probably), except that he was buried in Perthshire after illness confinement near Forfar.

Do do have information on this site or the local area?

Thanks,
Ian

Hi

Thanks
