Hello Leonora,

One of my friends at the Peterhead Family History showed me your messages today and I think I'm right in thinking it's Tommy Kelly who lived with his parents at the Prison Quarters in the 1940's when I was small or should I say young, Tommy helped me with the first codling I caught from the said breakwater, my husband is one of the men rebuilding the model and will be very pleased to see the disc when it arrives I have taken some photo's of the work in progress, but like you I'm not sure how to work this site properly.

Tommy had a sister Martha and Patsy if I remember properly, he was also friendly with Bob Law dec. and Alfie Hepburn who I think still lives in Aberdeen.

Wow! yes you have the right Tommy Kelly , and Martha was my mother.  both were so close as sibblings in life but also in death mum died on the 10th of April and Tommy on the 12th my birthday on the 1th, it was a few years apart.

Jessie and Pat die several years before them, and Bobby Law was his great friend.  for many years uncle Tommy  drove from Southampton to Peterhead to see Bobby Law every year until Bobby died.

 Uncle Tommy was a wonderful uncle and  it so wonderful to read your post.  I will try and copy the disk soon and post it off,but having lost my father resently I still finding it hard to motivate myself to do anything.

I have wonderful memorys of Peterhead although I was only about 5 when my Grand parents moved to live with us in Chester.

send me a private message when you get back, i should be home about the 19th it may be easyer if i was to post you a copy of all i have on disk? there are sooooooooooo mamy pictures. there are ones of the plans scale models of thr new break water, groups of workers the ladders that the divers climbed down [ found out from my uncle thes were train tracks as they needed to be strong] i have also many group shots of the office worker. last stone to be layed . group photos of all the peple who worked on the project.

 i will sign up on your site to thats if i dont returnhome broke haha
