Barrhead shop
« on: Thursday 05 November 20 10:21 GMT (UK) »
My Great Grandmother, Rachel O’Neil had a shop in Barrhead sometime around 1896 - 1928.  Unfortunately I have no idea what kind of shop it was or where!
I imagine it would be a ‘grocer’ or sweetie shop and probably named O’Neil’s.  She was previously Rachel Boyle but I’m pretty sure she only had the shop when she became and ‘O’Neil’.   Rachel lived in Glasgow Rd/Printers Row and then laterally Craigheads St, I’m thinking the shop would be near her home.
I would be grateful if anyone can help with any further information or point me in the right direction To find out more.
