I will have to look them out as we moved house, but I sent copys to all the family in scotland as well.

 as soon as I have recover from my resent operation. I will do .  The diver that gave them to me  had them from a divers son from Peterhead he worked with so I am sort of sure there would be a copy there but may be worth asking .

 MY grandfather and his son were both named Thomas Kelly(both Know as tom)

« on: Thursday 27 May 10 16:25 BST (UK)  »
By chance  I was given a copy of the full history pictoral history if the building of Peterhead break water from plans, models and the building many pitures of the men who worked on the build 2 of which were my grandfather  and his son.

 there pictures of the divers and many of the pictures have names of father and sons on them.

 It was a part of my family history I never knew about , and only found out  about itby chance when I payign guest  working down in Wales doing some diving work  brough out his lap top when he heard i had connection with Peterhead. and started shoing me all thsi pictures and i saw my grand fathers name. later my father was able to pick out my mother brother as a young man in many of this old photos.

my grandfathers name was thomas Kelly  know as Tom and he married Willamina  Barclay in 1913 in leeds. but  I remember them living in Peterhead in the Prison Quaters.

 They were married in Leeds in 1913

 but  my generation  remember  talk about some   some relative

  in the family who had triplets and twins , there were no sigle birth at all and  my mother remebers them all being counted in at night to the house  as there were so many children and it was hard to tell who was who with triples and twins i the one family. sorry i got no more information that  this but triplets at that time must have been very unusual that they survived. They also had 2 house made in to one to accomodate thislarge family

 there is also a family member names Jessie Cussie  who lived at 15 St Peters Street Peterhead and on my mother Birth cert. it refures to her as grandmother present at the birth.

My grand parents lived at 25 Kirk Street when my mother was born in 1928
 not sure if any of these names will help you


so triples and twin did appear to survive in the early 1900
