Hi again Dundonian,

Yes as you say Happy days!!  I left the town center to live in Douglas when I was about 6 years old.  I later went to Robertson's dance hall in the Hawkhill, we called it Robbies, don't know if you were old enough to remember that as you left Dundee in the 1950's.  It was thew 1960's before I went to Robbies, also saw the Beatles in the caird hall in the 1960's too.

Hi again Dundonian,

The DYE family lived in Isles Lane in the 1950's and before that too, they were in a house upstairs on the left hand side as you entered Isles lane.

Big family Jessie, Rena, Patricia, Tony, George, Billy and others that I can't even remember now.  They too had a large house with inside toilet which was unusual at that time as most toilets were outside and shared with other families.

Ah the Princes Cinema I remember it well I used to line up every Saturday for the childrens films and I also remember getting in Free on your birthday as too.

Hi can anyone help please?

Somehow I have ended up with SMS on my Windows Mail, there is a tool bar for SMS which I would like to remove but can't. 

Can anyone tell me how to remove this SMS tool bar?

Hi Dundonian,

I too know this area very well although my family moved out the area when I was about 6 years old into newer houses recently built on the outskirts of the city.

My uncle lived in Isles Lane just a bit down the Hawkhill from the St Josephs school. Some of the family lived on the Burn as it was called and we lived in City Road.

also a Dundonian!!

Thats the image I am looking at the wifes name Madge and No 3 looks like Kelly aged 10 but yes you are quite correct I thought it was them at first until I saw the name Kelly??

So do you think it is the same family?  If so why would they be sent back to the UK then????

Yes aghadowey,

Its Ellis Island website and yes there is a Nicholas Carney but not MY Nicholas Carney as the family isn't the same if you check the image.
