Submitted by: Owen I was brought up in Salisbury St, continuation of Warwick St. Some people have been asking about St. Johns infant school, the main gates were in Warwick St later called Nicholson St. and the side gates took you into the lane were we crossed to go over to the chapel. The boys and girls stayed there until you made your Holy Communion and then the girls went to the all girls school at Tradeston St still called St. Johns and the boys went to St. Johns boys school in Portugal st across from the chapel. After we did our qualifing exams the ones who passed their exams went to Holyrood in Dixon Road which at the time I went was a senior secondary the others went to Our Lady and St. Margarets down in Kinning Park and the ones who didn't manage to pass their exams stayed on at St. Johns but in a different building called the advanced division. Pupils from other schools in the Gorbals who never passed their exams went there also. St. Johns school still stands were it was when I ! was young (69) but I don't know what it is. The old fire station that was along the road from it has been made into a homeless center (Hamish Allen). Their was a new St. Johns primary school built on Nelson St when they demolished St.Johns chapel. My maiden name is Welsh.
Submitted by: Amelia McKinlay (nee Welsh) Could anyone help me with a real long shot. My paternal grandmother was from the gorbals, or at least her family was. The only information we have on her is: Her name was Margaret Toner, she had a son out of marriage in January 1950 named him Gerard and had him christened in St Francis. She stayed in either Oregan Street, or out in Torphin Crescent. The god parent at the christening was Elizabeth Toner, we don't know if this was a sister or cousin etc. There was no name given as the father. Her son Gerard was given up for fostering in circa 1952, the pair were never reunited again. Gerard, was my father (brilliant) but sadly died couple of years ago. I am looking for any information at all on my paternal grandparents, or their family. I have my own family now, but still wonder every day about the family I have some place but have never met. If you can help me in any small way I would be extremely grateful.

He had a brother that worked as a Postmaster in the General Office in Glasgow and a sister that was a midwife at Glasgow Hospital. If anyone can help me please contact me.

Submitted by: Doreen Hayes Hello ISA, Yes, paddy"s market still exists to this very day, take a walk down it any Saturday and pick up bargains galore. I should know, I"m a glaswegian born and bred.
Submitted by: Owen Hello, this is for kathleen Well now, me name is Ikey Moses. I’m a chap that’s very wellknown I live in the city of Gloucester, got a business of me own I own a drapers shop, me name’s upon the top and I’m doing a rattling business in me old cloth shop. I sell me corduroy-suls, they’re the best American tweed I sell me sheets and blankets, at a rare old speed For now, a man come in the other day, a suit of clothes to buy I give him a suit for twelve and six - “Try them on for size” He tried ’em on to a very well fit only ready to walk away I tipped him on the shoulder, saying “Your money you have to pay” He turned around and looked at me and then his fist he drew He doubled me up in the corner, say - “That’s the place for you” I shouted for a cop, he said “You’d better stop Or you’ll soon be having a funeral in your old cloth shop". Only one other example of this song is found in Roud - Maurice Ogg collected it in the early 1970s ’from a couple of old ladies sat in a pub in Lincolnshire' - though I’m sure I’ve heard it elsewhere ... but can’t recall where or from whom. Jim McBride collected a version which he was going to include in the 1988 Innishowen Singers’ Circle booklet, but didn’t for some reason. Here’s his comment and the song text: This song was a favourite of the late John Grant (Daniels) who enjoyed life to the full and died suddenly in April of 1987. John’s infectious good humour and light-hearted approach to living inspired all those who knew him. Even though he was advanced in years and in poor health he still insisted on struggling up the hill from his ’demountable’ in Foffanagh to catch the minibus to the town on several nights a week where he regaled many’s a friend and indeed strangers with his wit, his stories and especially his songs. The Brass Rail Bar hasn’t been the same since his demise. The song simply relates the tale of an Irishman who opened a second-hand cloth shop in ’Paddy’s Market’ in the Saltmarket in Glasgow. Indeed Paddy’s Market still existed thirty years ago and for all we know may still exist.

Submitted by: Margaret McGettigan Burgdorf I am still trying to find my relatives up in Scotland after about 2 years with no clues it's as if my father and the family never existed, I find this very sad dad was always happy and full of fun and anyone that met him thought he was great. However, is there some dark secret that no one wants me to find out, no one has come forward with my request for help in finding them. My father was Ramsay MacDonald from Portugal Street Glasgow, his mother died when he was seven this would be around 1932. His aunt and uncle brought him up they were Peter & Grace Jackson who lived in Portugal Street, if anyone does know of anyone that might have known this family please get in touch asap? I know he has a cousin up in Perth called Jessie and I have written twice but she hasn't answered my letters, I can't help wondering why. I would have been a very young girl the last time I saw her but would dearly love to meet her again thanks for reading this Jean.

Submitted by: kathleen McAndrew Galloway I remember during the 1960s walking past the "buroo" near the broomielaw where there was a big poster advertising passeges to austrialia for £10. I know quite a few people from the gorbals took the offer up and I have often wondered how they got on...did you go and come back? or did you stay there and just got on with it?...some of your stories would be nice to hear! A whole generation of gorbals people emigrated, what exactly happened to them and where are they now? Do they still feel homesick or has life in a "better country" made them happier? There is a prize for the best story...a penny dainty!

Submitted by: Ann I was born in a single end at the corner of lawmoor st. and caledonia road. The memories of living in the gorbals are endless and the gorbals anecdotes sometimes leave me day dreaming about the countless adventures in the first seventeen years of my life. I grew up and was educated in the streets of the gorbals (hutchesontown) and would not trade that for anything. Sometimes I wonder about Neil McFadyen and all the others too numerous to mention.
Submitted by: Dave Stevenson Looking through the site again, everyone has the same thoughts as me, same memories, great times and most important, great lifelong friends I can still call on if needed. There are too many "penny hapeny" pals out there!! Lived at 73 Thistle St, brothers Richard and Billy and half brother and sister Allan and Magaret Jones, best pals John Masterson and Anderson Moore, if anyone remembers anything, let me know, check out first contact six months back, Awrabest.

Submitted by: Pat Bain Hi, my great, great grandparents originated from Gorbals. I sent for their marriage certificate (from Scotland's People) however it was a copy of a parochial register which gave no information other than the fact they married in 1848. As I want to trace my ancestors further back does anyone know how I can achieve this?
Submitted by: Lynne Williams I was born in 223 Thistle Street top floor 1947. I left the Gorbals when I was 6 to move to Ibrox. I have few memories but two that stick in my mind are the midden men shewing us up the stairs while they emptied the bins, the rats that came from behind were the size of cats (probably) not I was six. I went once a week to Rosebuds with twins who stayed in the next close and I can still feel the distaste of their older sister who had to walk us there. I wish I could remember names. I had a brother Gordon, my parents were Flora and Matt (Nobby) Clark. I believe my fathers family lived near by but I don't know them. My mothers family Gordon lived in McKinlay Street. There was subsidence in their back courts and access was blocked. I can remember being lifted out of the window with my brother to get my photo taken but could not understand why we could not play there. My jeely pieces in Thistle Street were flung down in brown bags to the back court. I've enjoyed reading all that everybody had to say and I'll be visiting the site regularly.
Submitted by: Linda Langford (nee Clark) Does anyone have any info on Margaret Falconer who was born at 66 Hospital Street in 1913, her mother's name was Alice?
Submitted by: Anne Robertson My name is Jessie Walker, I was born in 5 Thistle Street in 1933 and left to elope in 1952. I went to Buchan Street school and then went onto Adelphi Terrace. My maws name was katie Walker who married in later years to Boaby White. I left school and went to work in Masseys the grocers. People I remember from school is: Mildred Steen, Fae Duffy, Nan Connelly, and Agnes Turnbull. I loved living in the Gorbals it was a great community and everyone looked out for each other. We were very poor but always clean and happy. I remember being sent into the toon for ribs and a ham haugh for sundays dinner and some whelks and mussels. I loved going to Paddys market and prayed every week that I would get a kilt as all my pals had one. I eventually got one years later but they were out of fashion and trousers had been introduced for the wumman. I got a job as a clippy on the buses and this is were I met my late husband Jimmy Cameron. I remember cochranes, Wullie Wilson the butcher in Crown street. My memories of living in the Gorbals are the length of 5 motorways and I'll always be proud to say "I'm a Gorbals lassie".

Submitted by: Anne Johnston With all the talk about Vioxx does anyone remember Dr. Emma Gibb? She had her surgery at the corner of Sandyfaulds Street and Cumberland Street. No appointments necessary. Just go to the office and take a seat. If you needed a housecall, you delivered a note to Birrell's the Chemist and it was passed on to her and she came to the house. Anyway, she used to give out these tablets (pills) called "M and B's". They were used for everything - from a headache to virtually anything you complained about. I wonder what the initials "M and B" stood for. Anyone out there have any thoughts on this?

Submitted by: Thomas Kelly Donnelly I knew your brother Acky. and I've got an old photo of him in the 'CLELLAND' with my old pal Terry Bryson, sadly deceased. My name is Terry Young and I ran around with the 'CUMBIE' as it was then. Tarzan Wilson, John McCue, the McMenemy twins (sadly both gone), Jimmy Boyle and his brother Tam, Jimmy Tierney and a host of others. By the way anyone want to go back to how it was and up to the first changes, you should buy 'A Pictorial View of the Gorbals' available in all good bookstores El Tell.
Submitted by: Terry Young If you went to school in the Gorbals up to the 1960's you were probably on the receiving end of the belt, or leather tawse, which were made by a saddler in lochgelly. One teacher I knew had three such belts and if he did not like you he would then use belt number three which was extremely thick and heavy. But there was a way to combat the belt hurting you...you had to bend your fingertips just slightly before the belt hit your hand and it was only the fingertips that got the pain. My classes at saint lukes and bonnies were all a wee bit wild so nearly everyone got the belt and we really felt no fear of it but newer kids joining the school did and would often "hiv a good greet" after getting the belt but the secret was "no tae greet" and show the teachers you weren't at all afraid of them. It baffles me now how teachers can control wild glasgow street kids now...the belt may now be considered barbaric but then it was essential for keeping order. I got the belt once for! not knowing my 12 times table off by heart...I soon learnt it and even to this day I can do sums very quickly in my head, something the modern generation can't do without a calculator...so thirty years on I look back and think the belt was good for me!

Submitted by: Vic Bryce I am an architectural student at the university of Dundee and for my dissertation I am studying the regeneration of the Gorbals.
