Hi Minnie, My mum was born in 1921 too and she was Annie Nally's best friend for many years. Annie Nally had a sister called Bunty Nally and I think that she was about the same age. They were all born in Glenyards Cottages, Bonnybridge.I think that Annie Nally's mum delivered all the babies in the cottages. I do not know about other brothers or sisters in the Nally family but my mum often spoke of Annie and Bunty. Glenyards Cottages no longer exist, they were workers cottages built around a big house, the bosses house. The bosses name was ST. John (THEY PRONOUNCED IT SINJUN)
My mum was Annie O'Connor there were 8 of them in all and as far as I remember they lived in very cramped conditions in the downstairs part of the cottage and the Nallys lived in the upstairs part. Through time the Nallys moved to one of the bigger cottages and my mums family got tenancy of the upstairs and downstairs. I think that there are still Nallys in Bonnybridge, I am sure that they were all rehoused there and Glenyards cottages would have been demolished probably in the 1950s. Hope that this is of some interest to you.
