Hi Leonora, my uncle, Jackie Davidson Snr appears on the photos, my mother's brother. I also knew Tommy Kelly, who was an old my when I knew him. He lived in the prison quarters and I used to deliver his messages from the little grocers by Burnhaven School, Miss Spence's. I also used to do a lot of fishing on the south breakwater as I live at Burnhaven. I would really appreciate it if I could have copies of your photos or a disc with them on. I would of course cover any costs incurred. Look forward to hearing from you .
