I was a good friend of Jim's and remember he and Alison emigrating in 1978. My parents Bob and Janet Hammersley used to visit Jim on route to my sister Anne in Montreal. Jim and Alison lived in Mississauga. I remember Alison's death with sadness. I spoke with her on the phone a few weeks before she passed away. I believe their daughter was a great dancer- maybe still is!
I'm glad to learn Jim is still at the golf. We used to play together at Ardeer. I live in Italy nowadays and have lost touch with Jim. I'd love to resume contact as we are getting to be old boys nowadays!

My dad is Jim Love, my aunt was Avril, and my grandparents were Tom & Sadie.
Avril moved to Canada first, I would guess in the 60's. My mum (Alison Bolton) Dad, and I went to Canada in 1978 when I was 3. Tom & Sadie came to Canada as well, within a few years of us.
My Dad is doing well. Enjoys a lot of golf - 123 games last year! - and is a happy Grandpa. One of his granddaughters (my daughter) is called Sadie, after her great-gran. Sadly, my mum Alison died in 2005, and Avril in 2015.

A warm welcome to the Threetowners Forum. I’m sure you’ll meet a lot of people who knew your family before the left the three towns. Looking forward to reading your posts.

Who were the parents of William Love b 1812?

Greetings from Vancouver,
The Logan and Love families mentioned on your post are my family. Agnes Logan b 1878 Stevenston to Christina Love and William Logan. Agnes being the sister of my grandfather Alexander. She died in Saltcoats July 5th 1900. Alexander Pluu and Agnes Logan had two children before her death, Christina Love Pluu 1898 and Margaret Blair Pluu 1900. I was able to find that they emigrated to Quebec.

Jean Love 1846 Kilwinning, the daughter of Alexander Love and Ann Frew, my great grandparents. Alexander being the brother of Christina Love as in above notation as to Agnes Logan. All so very interesting to find this post from last year and your relationship with Scott's and Stirrat's as well as my Logan and Love family.
Cheers,
Linda

Hi Hammycrescent



I worked with Avril Love in Ardeer and she went to Canada. I understand she became an estate agent and was very
successful. There was Love the plumbers at the cross who I believe may have been her grandfather's business.
Her Aunt Mary worked in Nicols the chemist for years.

I remeber Jim Love he was in the 1st Stevenston BBs same time as me.
