Arden House, Loch Lomond

[TerriG]

Joyce was born in 1945, and mum in 1947 (both are deceased now unfortunately).  I don’t know where they went to primary school, but they attended a convent school in Dumbarton.  They were actually born in Uddingston, but soon after my mum was born, they emigrated to Canada.  My mum’s mum died in Canada in 1951, and grandad and the 2 girls returned to Scotland in 1953.

Do you have any photos from Arden House with any unidentified people in them?

Yes, there are quite a few photos. There’s a couple of group photos of all the staff with the Lumsdens and others, taken in the grounds, some with my mother or granny and some with people I don’t recognise. I will sort them out and scan them when I get a chance and can mail them to you.

Your mother and aunt would have been quite a bit younger than my mum then. When they returned from Canada my mum would have been 19 and out working. However, she lived their until 1961 and was back and forwards until 1967 so they must have known each other.

That’s very kind of you . I’ll send you a personal message with my email address.

I will try and have a look through them at the weekend
