Alexandrina Ogilvie
A Memory of Thornton.
I left Scotland heading to Australia on the SS Ormonde. My dad Frank, worked in the railways in Thornton. I can remember the smell of the steam engines which I still love. I did go back a few years ago to try and find family I only had a few days. I was looking for the Ogilvie side (my dad's family ) and the Allan side (my mum's side). I went through my old school in Thornton and it had not changed a bit. My old prefab in Beech Ave had been demolished which was sad. Lots of good childhood memories.
