Thankyou arthurstoneladdie

for the new pic showing the corner of Court St and Dundonald St.

Do you have any pics or info regarding my other posting - THis is the tenement above and around the 4Js Bar at number 10 - 14 Dundonald St.

I always thought the back court of this Building was very small and thought it may have been bigger at some point. Maybe some of it was taken away to form the Large car park that now sits at the Dundonald St / Wolseley St junction.

A local man says that he can remember ther was a big outbuilding to the side that served as a bin shed about 20 years ago,

But any info or pics would be a great start.

Hi Kathleen
Just seen your post of 2007 and hope you are still well. 
I worked in one of the stores for several years as a schoolgirl in the late 60s early 70s.  This was in Carnoustie at the top of Station Road.  The shop is still there but was closed when I last passed earlier this year. You can see it on Google earth.  I also later worked from the butchery dept and delivered to stores in Strathmartine Road Dundee, Errol and Arbroath. 
 Best wishes
Irene

Hi Katheleen,
I see you are researching the surname Rae. I am looking for any information on family of Margaret Cook, married to
James Rae, born 1832, Dalmellington, son of James Rae and Margaret Gregg. Margaret Cook and James Rae had 7
children. And at least one Grandson, William. I descend from the Cook line and live in New Zealand.
Thanks in advance, Regards, Brenda McLeish
