For the benefit of anyone interested in old school-registers, etc, you should contact the Dundee City Archives as they have quite a collection. You'll just have to ask them what they've got for St Joseph's. Incidentally, I was brought up in Wilkies Lane (1938 - 1951) and well remember the school. I used to play in the playground in the evenings, etc. There was a war-time emergency water-tank (about 10metres square by 1 metre deep) standing in the playground area bounded by Belfie;ld Street and Loudon's Alley. This was for fire-fighting purposes. I used to cut through the upper part of the school site to get from Wilkies Lane to Belfield Street on my way to school at Blackness Road. At the top end of Wilkies Lane, just past St Joseph's school , stood the catholic chapel. As children, we used to congregate outside the chapel when a wedding was taking place, to wait for the departing couple to lean out of the window of the wedding-car and throw pennies and ha'pennies, for good luck! It was certainly good luck if you managed to scrape up a penny or two and didn't get killed in the rush!! Good luck to you all in your searches for Cuthills etc.
