The girl 2nd from right front row is my sister Bridget (Bridie) Boyle. At that time we lived in the tenements in Bothwell St, (Silverbanks). God knows why it was called that? I myself went to St Brides around 1957 and later to St Cadocs. I have found myself in a couple of photos, and my mother and grandmother in a photo from the Halfway womens guild.

Note from James Harvey Jan 2012

Hugh (Shuggie) Coyle, is the one third row down and is part kneeling at the end of the row on the right. (It looks like he is wearing an Army Greatcoat). It was his family who took me in when my Gran was ill and that was on many occasions.

tn_Elmwoodcolledge.jpg (3785 bytes)
I managed to borrow these photos from my sister Patricia Kelly (nee O'Brien).  Patricia is in the Elmwood College (Bothwell) photo,fourth from the right of second back row.  Her friend Susan Mullen is first on the right of Same row. I believe the picture was taken around 1953 just after she left St Bride's primary Cambuslang.

Both these photos donated by Margaret Limerick (nee O'Brien) May 07

tn_StBridesSchoolChoir195053.jpg (2584 bytes)
St Bride's
Alter boys with Father White in centre front row.  Also sitting in front row, second from left is Gerald Kelly.   I think this was taken in the early fifties.  The connection between these two photos is that Gerald Kelly (now deceased) married my sister Patricia O'Brien.

Mr & Mrs Docherty are in the middle row (Mrs D 5th from L) and in the top row (Mr D is 4th from L).
