I didn't have many photos of my more recent ancestors, so using the documents I had, I looked up pictures of the streets where they were born, lived married and died, and used them to pull together the information I have on them... The streets where my ancestors were born, lived, married and died in Glasgow Bridgeton Calton area. From around 1841. Springboig, Shettleston and The Gorbals. I've researched my Family tree on both sides of my family and put together this compilation of old Glasgow Streets with images from Virtual Mitchell and the Glasgow Story web sites. Casey Gilliland Conly Cummiskey Holmes. It was my way of saying hello, and goodbye to the Ancestors that I never met... Song By Eddi Reader "Ae Fond Kiss".

Well done .......... I was captivated from start to finish...You must be proud to have discovered where and when you family come from..... I recognise some of the family surnames from around the Calton are ..I also had family Charlotte St. and All around Calton ...... I,m sure that 'Main St. /New St.were the first streets to form Calton in 1700 and ?... Keep up the good work.

nice video, love all the old black and white pics from a different time

@edward0988 13 лет назад

Nice video and easy to watch, I think part of the magic of this vid is that it could represent many Glasgow families. Thanks for posting.

My grandparents on my dad's side came from Rutherglen, Bridgton, Calton etc. Grandad came out to New Zealand in 1927, Nana took a while to follow him 1932, before she could away from her family. A lot of the the McLuckie's came out this way, a couple to Australia. There are relatives in the US too. Coal miners all. My dad is still alive as is two of his 3 siblings. Great effort. Thank you.

Thanks for your very kind comments sandycorgi. I really never expected the positive responses that I have had. I feel very proud, and sad that I never got to know all my past ancestors but through researching the family tree, the documents have revealed a little of their hardworking life and I am indebted to them. This video is a tribute to them all. Glad you have a little in common with the area sandy, you will understand my passion for this subject then eh! Cheers my friend. :) weesue

Hi Sue, smashing collection of pics and a great way to recapture the life of past family members. Music excellent. The red font was lost in some of the pics and this wouldn't help those who needed the info. All the best U no hoo.

Hi kookinoncool That was very nice of you to say that kooki. Made me feel proud... Great to know that the people viewing are appreciative of my efforts...Cheers.

@sandycorgi 16 лет назад

This is really good video work. RU-vid at its best. My great grandfather died in Barnhill, and I was born in Duke street hospital myself, and my late auntie lived in hollowglen road!! Parents were from Shettleston. Keep up the good work :-)

Number 10 Kirk St came up as a surprise to me, my Dad Jimmy McArthur was born in the same house in 1921, they moved to Carantyne between these dates.

Love the photos of my home town

@gailkreyns124 10 месяцев назад

Well done! Wonderful photos and video! Very moving tribute to your ancestors! (the music made it even more so!) The only known address I have for my Glaswegian ancestors is Commercial Road in the Gorbals in 1841 (they emigrated to the US in 1842), but you have inspired me to at least look for photos from there and from places they lived or frequented in the USA to go along with the family tree I've researched.

@weesue 10 месяцев назад

Thank you so much @gailkreyns124 I was born in the Gorbals and moved away at age 4, but now back for the last 23 years in the Gorbals now... a good photographic site is This www.mitchelllibrary.org/virtualmitchell/ and www.theglasgowstory.com/index.php Happy hunting... x

Great film... READ THE REAL GORBALS STORY NEXT BRILLIANT 👍

@GlasgowGallus 7 лет назад

The Barnhill Poor House pics were particularly poignant; it later became Foresthall Hospital, where high-care elderly were housed. My Gran's brother Bobby had to go there in the 70's when his care needs forced the issue. We'd walk down every night from Wallacewell Crescent to see him. A horrible, abject place...

Hi Charlie, I remember the backs also in Florence St (Where I was born) and I was only 3. I remember the metal stairs with the spaces in-between and I thought I was going to fall through them. (Scary)! Thanks for your kind comments...

@weesue 16 лет назад

Hi jomellon thanks for your comments. I was actually the wee one with the pixie hat. I am one of five sisters and it was just me and my younger sister who was born in Florence St, but it is me and my older sister in the photo at the end. Yeah I think we all have photos just like these eh! Memories! Glad you can relate to it thanks again, my friend.:)

@1951jmc 12 лет назад

fantastic love the old pictures .my granda and grandma lived at no 11 george st .i was born in the old duke st hospital .my dad and mum grew up around central and our ancesters lived within a square mile of there back to 1845 when they came from ireland at the time of the potato famine

@jomellon 16 лет назад

grand! Beautifully done. I take it you are Susan 1959, and the older girl in the last photo? Looks just like one of our families photos from that time: I was born in 1956 in Greenock My father was from the East End, my mother from Anniesland.

@weesue 16 лет назад

Thank you so much MisterGlasgow, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I am very proud and was so excited to discover where most of my family have come from. I have got as far back as 1765, in Scotland. Now have to go to Ireland to discover the rest... Very interesting and exciting work...Thanks again! :)

Thank you so much Lizanne. It is a lovely song, eh!

@Springboig100 12 лет назад

Incredible video - thank you. I was at Budhill School with the Gililand girls -am I correct in thinking there was a Matilda evacuated there during the war? We all spent our pennies at the Wee Hut. What joy there was when I was `doon the burn` and heard that sweeties were to be rationed. We would be free to buy them when we wanted - if we still had enough points left. Best wishes from Australia.

@weesue 16 лет назад

Thanks cuz, yes the pictures are brilliant oldies eh! I'm sure your dad had a photo of Hollowglen Farm too... (Cos I was looking for it at one time)! Thanks for your kind comments James... Catch up soon... :)

@weesue 16 лет назад

Hi Berwallace Thanks for kind comments. Most of the photos from the virtual Mitchell. My Paternal Gran lived in Vesalius St for 65 Years, and I still can't spell it. My mum was born on Hollowglen Farm. I have a book called "Shettleston Past and Present" by Thomas M. Waugh, that's where I got the Vesalius St, and Hollowglen Farm one. Sorry about the quality of the red print, was clearer when made but uploading it reduced the quality a little... Thank you once again.

@weesue 17 лет назад

Thanks for your comment whirlingtamthebam. I know what you mean about the red font. But in making the film it was very clear to read... In the process of uploading it to RU-vid it seemed to become more blurred... Sorry, to folks trying to read it!

@weesue 12 лет назад

Aw thank you 'Springboig100' my mum is Barbara Gilliland... mum has a sister Margaret, Nettie and Mina have since died... mum doesn't remember a Matilda... She remembers the wee hut though! lol Would you care to leave your name and I'll let mum know... You can private message me if you wish... thanks for taking the time... Springboig100... :)

@jazzabwfc 3 года назад

Great but didnae like the red writing all over it, there must be a better way of telling the story. That said is something I will look at over again

@weesue 3 года назад

Thanks James. It was the best of a selection of colours, If I used Black, you couldn't see the black writing in front of a dark image, if I used white it was the same in front of a light image, tried yellow, etc... It is better viewed on a desktop PC or Laptop...
