Edit Memories of Glasgow

I was born in Dennistoun 64 yrs ago. I lived on Bluevale Street. My maiden name was Smith. I had an Aunt Jean Smith, who owned a shop called Jeans Cafe, on Whitevale Street, across from the Whitevale baths. My family emigrated to Canada in 1948, my parents were Louie and Mamie Smith, and my brother Tony. My parents are both gone now, but I still like to hear news from Glasgow, as I have lost touch with relatives, cousins etc.,

Doris Sofio says: My late father Eric Elrick was brought up in Dennistoun. His father was a tram driver andmy mother used to tell a story that he was - either the first electric tram driver or the last horse drawn tram driver - but I could never get any further information. They lived in Rowchester Street and apparently there was a tram depot there. I speak about around 1900's Father went to Rowchester Street school and there is a photograph of the school football team in the Maryhill site. I sent this photo to the E.T and as I lived in Maryhill I think those were put here in error. My dad was 11 when the photo was taken. A ny info would be helpful.
