Hi Jowleeyar

Welcome to RootsChat 

Has your stepfather checked to see what records there may be relating to his birth mother etc. See guidance notes here www.nrscotland.gov.uk/research/guides/adoption-records

Does the info you have so far come from the birth certificate for him and his twin?

What other details if any showed for him mother on the cert? Did it give an occupation for example?

There are no Johnstones showing as tenants at 18 Rosehall Street. She may have been working there or simply staying with family/friends at the later stages of her pregnancy?

Hi, I have just come across this chat, whilst looking for info on Rosehall Street.

My wife's mother's family lived at 33 Rosehall Street for a number of years. Her Grandfather, Kenneth Boag, was there from about 1907 until he died in 1937. His wife Mary (nee Miller) lived there until she died in 1947. Their son Robert Miller Boag(born there 1908) gave 33 as his address in 1947, but I don’t know how long he stayed there.
My wife’s mother, Janet Boag, was born there in 1911, but by December 1943 she was living in Surrey where she married my father-in-law.

I see from one of the earlier posts that demolition occurred when the M8 was built.
Like others I too would be interested in seeing photos of the area.

Good morning

Thank you for your post.

My Grandparents originally lived at No.5 Rosehall Street but moved to No.10 in the early 1940s. My own father, Daniel Murphy, was born in No.10 in 1944. Were you and/or your family living in No. 9 at that time?

Kind regards

Brian Murphy
