NEILSTON - MY HOME

I was born and grew up in Neilston with my twin sister and brother. My mother had also been born there. Although I moved to Barrhead for a few years I spent so much time going up the hill to Neilston I thought it was time I moved back with my family.

I'm glad I did. My husband and family love the village as much as I do.

Lindsay

As a small child, in 1962 I visited Neilston with my mother and sister from Canada.
Her name was Annie Lindsay and was the parents of Margaret Roberston Lindsay and Anthony Lindsay of Neilston. My mother was expecting my younger sister and due to the pregancy had to remain in Scotland until the birth of the baby. I remember playing and seeing a big hill out front of there home. They lived on 5 Manse Road, Neilston, Scotland. We used to visit a small stream with my Uncle Joe and it seemed to be a small waterfall but I am unsure of the name of this location. I remember by PAPA making a fire and he would bring us GOLD chocolate pennies in a net bag at the end of each week for a treat.

Looking Back

I moved here from Glasgow in 1968. We lived in Donaldson Drive. I had 2 brothers, Brian and Archie. My name is Linda Duke. I also lived with my granny in Fulbar Lane during school holidays. I went to Reenfrew High School in 1968. If you remember me please get in touch, I would love to hear from you.

II Would Like to Know if Any One Knew A Sean Flynn Who Lived in Talant Road

I would like to know if any one remembers a Sean Flynn who used to live in Talant Road as I used to go around with him and his mates with my mates. I was very upset when he passed away, it must now be about 23 years ago. I still think of him to this day, he was a very good friend of mine and I he will always be in my thoughts. I still cannot beleive that he is not with us today. I went to his funeral and it was so sad, so I hope that if anyone sees this they will remember him, as he was a nice guy.
