Comments: Was looking at your web page as my father was originally from Catrine. You can imagine my surprise and delight to see a picture of my dad amongst your photographs .He is standing 3rd from the left with his arms folded. He left Catrine to join the army, married my mum and lived in London for many years. Moved back to Ayr and died in 1986. Thank you again for bringing back lovely memories of a really nice dad.
Admin reply: I have since had contact from your Daughter and now have named your dad in the photo of Ayrbank.Thanks again for your interest.
Comments: Hi Rab, Just browsing your great site again and can see so much has been added. We left Catrine in 1960.I am doing a family tree for our wee Grandson and have discovered that my Great Grandfather on Mums side came to Catrine from Northampton--don't quite know why. They owned a shoe factory in Northampton, They live don St Cuthbert's Street until Mum and Dad married and then moved to Shawlands Street. My Grandmother was Elsie Langley. I remember that our neighbours were the Stirlings, Mary Marion and a brother whom I can't remember the name of. My parents fostered Marion when their parents died until Mary came back from India. Then it was the Elliots, Peggy and Brusher and their family. It would be good to know if anyone is still there. Can I thank you for all your work on the site; you have given so much information to so many people. I hope you keep up the good work. It is very interesting.
