Provan, ? , ?, Agnes Gorman, Ina Wales, ? , John McKnight, Hugh Hendry, Peter Scott, ? nickname Cody Middle row: ? , ...McKnight, ....Gorman I can't recall the rest of the names. Arthur Hendry is holding "chums" card. ==================================== John McKnight married Agnes Gorman around 1946 after John was demobbed from the Armour Corps having served in Burma. |

Fairbairn Street My memories of people who lived in Fairbairn Street 1927 - 1939 are:- No5 Joe Welsh whose mother lived at No.45. Joe was a cousin to the McKnights. The Scott family whose son Peter is in the photograph also lived in this close. No.11 third storey was the McIntyres, later the McQuats, my family the Hendry's and the Gatherals. No.11 second storey was the McKnights No.11 first storey was the McGhees and the Provans family. No 11 in the close was the Smiths later to be occupied by my family, the house on the right was the Gormans. |

Extract from e-mail, Dec.2002, Peter
Scott, Canada (e-mail :
peterscott01@shaw.ca
) ".....webmaster, thanks for the help. I guess I just had a mental block, either that or I didn't have my specs on. I didn't realize that you lived in Fairbairn St. In 1936 we moved from no.11 to the "pen" at No. 5. Even then I was a bit of a snob and moving to No.5 was "infra dig" WEBMAISTER : Peter have look at the photo above.....YOU ARE IN IT !!! Another 'Dally' fp website success!! ( see Peter's school memories ) |
