Notre Dame School, Dumbarton
« on: Friday 26 September 14 09:49 BST (UK) »
My late mother attended this school in the 1950s/60s, and I would love to hear from anyone who knew her.  Her name was Georgina McLeod Mckean (b.1947), and I presume she must have started in about 1958, and left in 1963. 

If there are any photos, it would be lovely to see them.  However, you wouldn't be able to post them on this thread if there are any living people in them - you would have to send me a personal message.

Here's hoping!
McLeod, McKean, Hepburn (Fife)
McGowan, Gowan (Dumfriesshire, Ireland)
Nelson, McKean (Lanarkshire)
McKean, Mulgrew (Lethbridge, Alberta)
Boswell, Plumb, Lyon, Stokes, Pemberton, Crawford, Threadgold (Cheshire)
Tierney (Scotland/Ireland)

Hi Did your mother live in Dumbarton ? if so the best thing would be to place a message in one of the local papers being The Reporter or the Lennox Herald ...You could also contact the Helensburgh Advertiser as that would have been the nearest catholic school for Helensburgh ...You will find these papers on google ..
