Pictures???

[karen kozak]

Hello

I was wondering if and how would I go about finding pictures , I;m looking to see if I can find Mcalpine st either 75 or 15, where my grgrgr grandparents lived, and I was also wondering if the place Kirktonfield still exist and if a picture is able to be obtain or if anyone has one?? from what I can gather that is where my grgrgr grandparents were married/or lived..
also Archibald was a dock labourer, which docks would that be?? I would presume that would be in anderston??? thanks Karen

Hi Karen

Firstly - apologies - I know nothing of the streets you are looking for. However I was at one time trying to find out information similar to your quest - mine was in Aberdeen - I was trying to find out details of an address where some of my lot lived over 100 years ago. I did a Google search on the address - and 'lo and behold' that house was actually for sale at the time. I wrote to the solicitors acting for the vendour and explained my interest - to my deep and everlasting joy - they sent me the entire history of the property from the original land sale and construction over 150 years ago - and its entire re-furbishment and sale transfer history right up to current times (and floor plans of the original build). The solicitor was kind enough to copy all of the original legal documents and send them to me - along with photos of how the house looks now.

What a result - well worth a try in your quest - you just never know how lucky you might be.

Good luck

Ted
