"When I was young, I attended the Sighthill Church for Sunday School as it was quite near the end of my Street . In 1951 when I was almost 10, I was given a Holy Bible from Minister Willam Heron from Sighthill Church in memory of my father William who died in 1942 ( I was only one year old when he died) . He dated it 22nd February 1951 with the Verse John 5:39 to look up. I still have this Bible in my possession to-day."

"Hi Adamswell , isnt it great that lots of us have had the opportunity to go to Sunday School. Lovely to read that you still have your wee Bible , and hope you have had a wee read of it too ! I think Mr Heron became Moderator of the Church of Scotland later on. Pity you lost your dad so young, it must have been hard for your mum to be left with such a young child, but it sounds like you turned out well.....and your mum did a good job.x"

"You are right Jean Mr Heron was Moderator and well known I found amongst my mothers papers a personal letter from him ......wonder where I put it Does anone remember Rev. J Russell Anderson he was in aSpringburn church before he came to St Pauls and chaplain to the BarL "

"Hi Welly, another coincidence as my family all went to St James's Episcopal Church on Molinsburn St !! That's where I was christened, I think the minister s name was Rev, McDougall, although I'm not 100% on that. I have our family Bible, it belonged to my GGGgrandfather, who came from England and was a Church Warden"

"Hello FionaM Thanks for the welcome. If you can imagine.....I'm sitting typing
through tearfilled eyes again. Can't come on this site without a real sorrow coming over me. Homesickness I guess. Was married in St. Alyuisius in 1960.Moved from parents house in Lenzie St. to a Flat in Northcroft Rd. Emigrated to Canada 1967.
But to stay on the thread subject , we attended a Gospel Hall for a number of years in Toronto. ..........................Hugs returned with love..............lenziegirl xxx"
