Spence/Donnelly/Hughes family
What a great site. I have been desperately trying to locate some information about my family, please bear with me it is terribly confusing. My grandad, David Spence was born circa 1917 to Christina Spence and Peter Ramsey bit was brought up by his granny Agnes Daly who lived at 48 Orchard Street. My grandfather was also known as Peter Ramsey. He married my nanny Catherine, and they also lived at 48 Orchard street, where she had my mum, Agnes and my aunt, known as Kitty in 1938, and 1939. She also had my uncle Danny, from a former marriage to Tommy Donnelly, Tommy died after they had returned from Canada. My grandad died on 1/3/1948. My uncle Danny was well know in the area before he went off on the boats and finally settled in the US. In 1944/45 my nanny moved to Baston Street, the to Jamieson Street where I was born in 1958. My nanny was a lovely lady and I spent many happy hours with her and miss her today with a passion. She had a difficult early life and was brought up in Dalbeth Convent. It is believed that she had a sister Margaret who died in the convent. From there she went into service, then immigrated to Canada, marrying Tommy before returning to the Gorbals as he was ill and shortly died. Guess it is a long shot but any leads would be welcomed.
