Subject: Re: Hallside photos please
My dad is Willie Jones & he is in the Hallside class photo from 1932. He is the wee
tiny boy about 3rd from the left - his name is listed at bottom of photo. My 2 uncles (his
older brothers) are in the group of Hallside boys - their names were Tom & James Jones
known as Jimmy. My dad William passed away in 1996 age 71 & was living in Halfway at
that time. His oldest brother Tom moved away from the area in the 50s to work as an
accountant with the coal board & passed away some years after my dad. Then James
passed away in 2005/6. He lived in Cambuslang . My gran Jones had a wee shop in the 1960s
at the bottom of Overton Road near Hallside school. I don't know if you would have
known any of them but they were all born & brought up in Hallside & lived
there until around 1934 when they moved to a tenement building at the bottom of
Overton Road. The boys all married & my gran moved to Mill road & eventually
to a pensioners house in Helenslea Halfway where she passed away in 1975/76.
