Aberdeenshire / Building of the break water Peterhead may be you will find some of your family
« on: Friday 26 August 11 21:41 BST (UK)  »
I posted  many moons ago that i had  a disk with  the who history of the building of the break water in Peterhead. but due to moving house I had miss placed it.

 well today i found the  it and there are many  pictures of  the men that were involved in the building of it and  some are named . there are group and individual pictures .

 but I not sure i can  post it all  if i make a mess of this  please can one of the moderater help me thanks

 i have posted a few of the photos but there so many more and looks like i can only post a few at a time.

 my grandfather Tom Kelly and his son Thomas  Kelly  both worked on the build.

 I got these picture when I diver working on the new refinerys where I live in south Wales   was renting a room from me.  I told him my uncle and grandfather had also been divers  and were from Peterhead. he got out his lap top and then began to show me   the pictures he had relating to Peterhead breakwater. I then spotted my grandfathers name and later my father was able to  pick out my uncle (my mother's brother). The diver who gave me the pictures  had got them from a son of one of the divers  who also worked  on it.


 I have  pictures of the orininal plans the scale models  that were made and much much more but for some reasone i can't post any more pictures ??

This is a picture i found with a lot a cousin sent me . It is in perfect condition but have my doubts about it being one of my family.   the cousin who sent it was adopted by my uncle , when he married her mother . I have afeeling she may have put it in with all the family history things she sent to me to do with my uncle. but would be good to be able to return it to her with some information  After she was so kind to  return all the family history photos and paper to the blood line family :)
