Earliest Photo of You

Post by **Hughie** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 11:56 pm

Show us the earliest photo of you. I never knew this one existed till it was passed on to me a few months ago from my dear aunt Elsie (Hand) in Hastings - actually my second cousin - we have a maternal link to the four McGregg sisters who came from Newry to Ardrossan in the early 1900s.

That's me seated, then Jim the eldest and then Susan who has lived in Stevenston for about fifty years. Bobby is at the front. Bobby and Jim in their last years at Eglinton were School sports champions - I was runner-up in my last year.

Have a read at my recollections. And let's see your earliest photo.

Here's one of me in a push chair with Mum propulsion & Dad alongside pushing my invalid (cerebral palsy) elder brother along South Beach prom. I think it was probably taken 1951-52 - I was born in January 1951. The other one is a bit later of me having a peek in a bucket - not sure which beach it was taken at.

Can't picked it Bob, first thought was Saltcoats looking towards Ardrossan from Montgomerie Cresent but the skyline doesn't seem right.

Here's one of me with my Mum and Dad about 1940. I was born 1937 I was three then so that looks about right. Taken in Hamilton Street Saltcoats.

This is my Mom with Anna hanging on to the pram now I could be in the pram but it's probably my brother Henry. Anna was born in 1933. I think that was the catholic school at the side.

Hi Josephine , I think your photo was taken in Dockhead St. outside the Trinity church opposite Fullertons the ironmongers, just a guess, what do you think?Regards Sam.
