Shirley - Pass on my regards to your dad. He may remember
Ian & Gordon Niven, who were in Mahaar Farm. Ian lives in Stranraer and I left Kirkcolm in 1964 and have been in North Manchester for 40 years. We used to love going to Lady Bay and to Jack McDowalls at the far end of Lady Bay, which I have just discovered was called "Portmore". Unfortunately the road has not been properly maintained and it is hardly safe to go to Lady Bay now. Have just learned of the tragedy in 1881 when your gg grandfather, John, and one of his sons, William lost their lives when the "Elizabeth" sunk off Portmore. Please bring me up to speed about Sheila?
Best Wishes
Gordon Niven
