River Road Carmyle Glasgow

[Cathrn]

Good morning,

I have just spent a very frustrating afternoon visiting River Road in Carmyle. My grandfather lived for many years at number 43 and I am visiting Scotland from New Zealand and thought it would be nice to look at the house. It appears that all the original houses have been demolished and new houses built. The numbers begin at 61 and those houses look the right age, e.g. have chimneys and well established trees.. sadly there was no one about to ask. If anywhere knows about River road I would be pleased to hear about it.

Regards,
Catherine.

Good afternoon to you and hope you are enjoying your visit I have been N Z every 2years since 2010.. Done the North and South Islands spent most of our time in Whangarei .. ...If you are here to do some family research you should visit the Mitchell Library they have lots of information and are very helpful ..They also have a search room for Scotlands People saves you trailing to Edinburgh worth a visit

When did he live there?

      I have an Adam Leyden who lived at 45 River Road, Carmyle.      He died there 21 Jul 1918.
I have several Leydens on an outer limb of my tree.       Glad you told me that about the house.
I was intending to go there to take a photo of number 45!

The Adam Leyden you refer to is my Great Grandfather and his son Robert George Leyden is my Grandfather and this is why I was visiting River Road to look at number 45. I am interested that you have Leydens on a branch of your tree . I will be back in New Zealand in early July and am happy to share what I know of the family. Thank you for your reply.

Catherine.
