Thanks daddysgirl. All that was really helpful.

I'm ok with knowing when my family were living at Inchgreen St as I have all the usual census and bmd certs. What info do the rates books give you?

Tried to see the skunkybob photos but there doesn't seem to be any there?

With regards to the photo, if that street is Fullerton Street then is Inchgreen Street out the photo towards Port Glasgow?

Hi again, just looked at the photos on skunkybob's link.

So was Inchgreen Street from where the embassy billboard is, heading up towards the railway line?

no
the sign is the inch green road inch green tenements are were the sign is on the side of the tenement straight ahead.

picture this portglagow road is long straight road on left hand side you have railway line, to the left it branches off  to another road which is inchgreen st.
so there is no railway line behind inchgreen st it is seperated by portglasgow road.

Hi folks

Have just joined so I could join in the conversations which I have been following with interest.

My father was born in Ladyburn Buildings in 1914.  His grandfather and grandmother and his mother and two brothers moved up to Greenock when the Woolwich Arsenal torpedo factory was transfered from London to Greenock around 1910 (they are not on the English census for 1911.  He lived with his grandparents when his mother married.  His mother and her new family continued to live in Greenock but he and his grandparents returned to London sometime between 1924 and 1935.  I still need to research that.

Living in Ladyburn buildings what would be the name of the school mentioned that he would have attended?  Does anyone know of any school records around that time?

I have not been able to trace his step family other than through certificates.

Regards

Linda

the schools in the immediate area were The Ladyburn School which was to the L of the Ladyburn Buildings on the photograph.
The other school was St Mungos school , it was just above the Ladyburn School, nearer the main road.  St Mungos was a catholic school. That may help you to narrow down which one he attended. Sorry,....don't know of any school records that may exist.

Hi Linda

Just to second the previous reply, I have interest in Ladyburn School as some of my ancestors attended there. I do not know of any records that exist, the last time I visited the building it was empty (a couple of years ago.)

I was given this brilliant link by another rootschatter and maybe you'll have some luck in the old school photos - some have pupils names on them. So have a look.....

Thanks for the link- unfortunately there is only one photo of Ladyburn School around 1920's, when my father and his uncle would have been there, but this is obviously a girls class.  I think boys and girls used to be segregated for schooling in Victorian times, and may well have continued.  It is great to see how the girls are dressed though.

St Mungo's School only opened in 1935 and closed in 2005. There are school records, if anyone is interested I may be able to help. Give name and date of birth.

Inchgreen street disappeared about 25 years ago. It was situated between Bogston and Boundary street and between the 'Main' road and the Gourock to Glasgow railway line.There is a plastics factory now on the front of the site and a dual carriageway at the back of the site.

Hi JPMAC,

If you manage to get the photo attached, would love to see it.

I am sure there is probably some help telling you how to do it but I haven't needed to know how to so fraid I can't help.

Might is be easier to send it as a personal message?

PS Just seen the 'Attach a photo...' arrow below the reply dialogue box.  Check that your photo is in an allowed file format and that it is less than 500 kb.  If both are ok, then you need to remember where it is filed.  If you find it difficult navigating to various folders, you could put a copy on your desktop then after it is attached, it can be deleted from your desktop.
