| I am attempting to put
together a web site to satisfy the nostalgic
yearnings of anyone involved in Townhead, Royston
(Garngad), Germiston and adjacent areas. It
relies on visitors sending me their memories and
scannned photos. I am having particular
difficulty obtaining info on Germiston's History,
where I spent much of my childhood in the
seventies. ANY info/photos of these areas would
be welcome. Check out the site as it stands at the moment http://website.lineone.net/~pilots Thanks in advance Posted - May 2000 |

| Hi My name is Angela Burton. I am trying to find my boyfriend's sister, whom he has never met. My boyfriend, William Romain ( formerly Robinson ) was born at Stobhill Hospital in Glasgow on 7/7/72 and was adopted out as was his brother, Neil ( born 1970 ) to the Romain family. His sister, Davina was going to be adopted by the Romain's but an aunt decided to take Davina in and William and Neil were never able to meet her. Davina was 1 year younger than Will, born in 1973 and that would now make her 27 years old. She is also of Pakistani and Scottish descent. Both William and Neil were adopted out as their mother had an apparent drug addiction which led to both boys having medical problems at birth.

| When I was a little girl in
1973 my dad was stationed in the Navy in Dunoon
Scotland, my mom also worked and I stayed with a
lady by the name of Iza McCarron. I have alot of
good memories about Aunt Iza and her daughter
Rosemary. Our address was 54 Aucamore Rd.???I
would love to have contact with them again!!!
Also I have a Grandfather Clock that has the name
of Rob T. Lyon - Lanark on it ?? (Very old) I
would like any information available on this
person. Thank You Posted - November 2002 |
