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.

RE: RE: Lindsay
I remember your visit in 1962. Your grandfather, Anthony, and my grandmother, who was also called Annie Lindsay, were brother and sister. Your grandmother was known to us as Aunt Peggy not as Margaret, I remember when I was a child she used to play the mouth organ at family gatherings. The name of the water fall is Killoch Glen, it is a local beauty spot and I have lived next to this glen since 1971. My maiden name is Annie Williams Tait, my mother's name was Annie Williams she was your mother's cousin.
