Argyllshire / Re: John Black/Isle of Lismore

Hi Julie,

I grew up as a child on the Island of Lismore, and what a wonderful childhood it was. When I left in 1971, a Duncan McDougall farmed Baleveolan, he died in the 1990's, and yes it is still there today, not far from the shop/post office in the middle of the island.

Lismore has its own website, http://www.isleoflismore.com/  you should contact them, they are very helpful and will advise you.

I remember travelling by boat to Oban High School every Monday morning, in all weathers, and returning on a Friday evening, staying in lodgings all week. Now the scholars have the choice of returning home every night.

I have been back for many holidays, as my parents and grandparents are buried on the island.

Lanarkshire / Re: Railway Death

Glasgow Herald -  31 Oct 1916

James Dallas, a machineman, who resided at 13, Anderson St., Kinning Park, was found dead last night on the up passenger main line between Moorepark Junction and Govan Railway Station. Dallas who was employed in the Howden Boiler Works, Helen St., Govan, was seen leaving his work, and some time later his body was found lying on the line. Shunting operations were in progress at the time, and it is conjectured that Dallas was endeavouring to cross between the tracks when he was knocked down.
