Dad's Roots
13 years ago

Hi,

Due to come up to Scotland in Aug.

Remember coming upto Coatbridge staying with my relations, Alex and Agnes Mills who had a son called Tommy. There was a young girl called Ruth who will now be late 40;s early 50's who I used to play with That lived next door to them. Anyone know the family, I know its a long shot but you never know.

My dad;s surname was Mills and we also have relations called Corrigan. My Uncle Patsy used to live on his own and only had one leg he has been dead a long time now.

Thanks

Maybe a street address will help the amateur sleuths?

Was this the early sixties you used to go to Coatbridge?

Hi,

Sorry I have no address as I was only about 7 so its 46 years ago.

All I can remember was they had a large back garden and steps upto the front door. It was a council estate and there was a row of shops nearby.

My Uncle Patsy used to run a mobile shop around that time and he lived in a bungalow.

Sorry not much to go on as my parents are now dead. Used to visit my dad's cousin Mary who is a nun in the Cramelite convent and still is.

Thanks for anything you can find out

If you go to bt.com, there are no T. Mills, Coatbridge..

If you search Corrigan, Coatbridge, there are 9 entries.

Need some more info I think.
