West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Re: School Registers
« on: Tuesday 10 February 15 23:15 GMT (UK)  »
hi there! you may want to give jim Gordon a call on main wlc switchboard 01506280000 and ask for jim in archive records which are kept in an industrial unit in livingstone and it might be a good idea to mention school logs which are much easier to obtain on the data protection side  and if I remember correct 30 years for regist but very little restriction on logs as I am sure they are not covered by data protection but this may not be correct as I am no expert  and if any problem put  up a reply and I will send you an p m and give you my email as this is not a very good site for people like myself who are blind as it needs serious tidying up as it take ages to find anything

Lanarkshire / drysdale gorbals late50sglasgow
« on: Monday 08 December 14 23:04 GMT (UK)  »
hi there all ! looking for a wee bit help for an old friend who remembers going to gorbals glasgow years ago.  we are looking to see if anyone can remember the drysdale family from gorbals and i think the ones are the drysdales who lived at either Logan street or Nicholson street both gorbals Glasgow.   the family might be the Alexander James drysdale and Margaret hunter who were married in wigtownshire   glenluce area about 1940 ish.

at one time it is possible the family lived at gillespie farm in that area,i think they had a few children  but one may be  (*) drysdale born early 1940's and went on to marry (*) in the early 60's at paisley i think he came  from ballina county Mayo he was a roads contractor but i am trying to unravel the drysdales in gorbals Glasgow area and  my old friend is wondering what happened to them all for instance what happened to (*) and her siblings if this above is correct  i have worked out through Scotland people Alexander and Margaret died  but the remaining family is a mystery maybe (*) went to Ireland so can anyone help bring me up to date with this family.even the names of alexanders and margarets other children
