Daily Record/Sunday Mail Archives

Post by mcblondie » Thu Jul 17, 2008 12:23 pm

Hi,

Does anyone know how I can obtain a copy of a story on either of the above newspapers.

The reason i ask is, my father delivered my sister on "Boags Brae" in Blantyre on May 15th 1965. I believe it made the front cover and I'm looking to obtain a copy of this. I think a family member tried to get a copy years ago from the archives department but they were asking for silly money for this copy.

Callaghan or Callahan & Callachan - Blantyre & Ireland. Polockus -(many variations) Blantyre, Bellshill & Lithuania, Worldwide. Young and Boyle - Hamilton and Fife also Ireland. O'Donnell from Hamilton and Ireland Hastie from Fife also Burns from Fife

Hi Katie,

If you cannot get a copy from the Daily Record / Sunday Mail, have a look in the Mitchell Library. It should be available there, probably on microfilm.
