Helen, I have also a birth in Bremners Land, Duntocher - Isabella Chambers born 25th Feb 1899, daughter of James Chambers and Isabella (Bella) Morrison.

Any connection to yours? I have also 'mining' family in Baillieston about the same time period as yours - Hewitts and Gibsons.

regards,

Lindsay

Hello Lindsay, unfortunately I have just started my mother's family history so am unable to say if we have any links. If I come across any, I will let you know. Bye for now Helen

There's alot of 'lands' in duntocher, smiths land, munns land and so on.
The whole area was farming, and it really meant they lived on the farmers land. T
he majority of the houses in duntocher are not that old, but most areas/houses are named after historical things in the area, (the old mill is actually a car garage etc) it's amazingly unlikely the houses or even the area your family were in at the time are still there in anything like the same form.

There is bremmners cottages, and there was a bremmners department store (in the old fashioned sence of the word). I beleive there is still one at milport but not sure if that'll help you trace family!

Thanks littlejaffa for your info.  I am really interested in finding out where my granny lived and my mother was born.   I am hoping to get a picture of the Bremner Cottages to show my mother which might stir up some memories.  Bye Helen
