Although born in Arbroath, I grew up in Montrose and attended Montrose Academy from 1953 to 1965. Remember with great appreciation many of the teachers from that time especially Rev Tom Long, Miss Barclay etc. Became a cub scout in Miss Clara Durham's pack then an Air Cadet with 2288 squadron. Resulting from the latter experience, I qualified as an Airline Transport Pilot and Flight Instructor / Examiner. Left Montrose in 1965 and have returned for short visits from time to time. Have spend the last 35 years overseas in such places as the Bahamas, Jamaica, the Middle East and Canada. Always loved Montrose and would be happy to hear from anyone who happens to remember me.

2005. We moved to Australia in 1970 and are currently in Queensland, near Brisbane. Strange to think I call Montrose "Home" when I have lived for more than half my life in Australia. Time flies.
My wife Peggy and I now have three married and two unmarried 'children', 5 grandchildren. Left the Big Academy in 1953 after 4th year, worked for a year at Lunan Home Farm then went to NOSCA Aberdeen for Agriculture Diploma. Then worked for Andrew Spence at Commiestone before doing Dairying Diploma at Glasgow and Auchincruive.
After a year on a farm in Essex, 3 years in the RAF and 7 years with the Scottish Milk Marketing Board in Stranraer decided there must be better weather in Australia and there is.
The email address is sbeverid@bigpond.net.au if anybody feels like sending a note, it will be welcome. |

My Grandparents Nettie Clark and Bill Clark (Grandad, I think, worked in the Queen Street Social Club in later years) and Alf & Molly Illingworth (Who used to own, make sweets for and run "Mackies" sweet shop by the Ballhouse)
I lived in Montrose all my life until I turned 20 and moved to Dundee, where I have lived for nearly 9 years now (minus a year and a half in Edinburgh).
I still get through to Montrose fairly regularly (addmittedlty not so much recent, but this is going to change, I have a daughter who needs to see her Aunt, Uncle and Gradad, not to mention Great-Grandmothers and Great Uncles and Aunts!).
It's good to see so many pics of the way things were in my childhood. |

My great-great grandfather, George Fullerton Forsyth,came from the Montrose area. The family lore includes a tale that he married the teacher at his father`s castle, was disgraced, and immigrated to Canada. When his father died and he refused to return to Scotland the Fullerton Forsyth estate went to his sister who was married to a Mr. Grant. The estate involved a castle which was then called Castle Forsyth Grant. I am searching for more information on the story and possible family connections through the sister and Mr. Grant. |

In 1845, in France, a Sarah Dempster gave birth to my grandfather. Sarah Dempster was originating in Montrose (born in 1817, daughter of James and Sarah Smith). She had come to France to work as a spinner. Her child was placed at the orphanage and we lose her trace. Can somebody say to me where to find information on the Scot come to work in France? In particular what she could become after 1845 (return to the country? died in France?).
Thanks a lot. |

Looking 4 info on ancestors who were merchants in Montrose in early 1800's.They owned a couple of buildings in Murray St.,according to 1822 map,one place was next to carnegies premises,& the other further along the street.It seems at least one of these places was a reasonable sized emporium with its own minted currency.Anyone know if the buildings are still there or what they may have become? or what became of my ancestors in the area?

It would mean alot to my Dad JOHN KEITH , born March 1930. His parents ( my grans ) Charlie & Mary Keith who lived on Bents road,And also Aunty Francis & Aunty Elsie Potter at17 Bents Road . Dad left Montrose to go and work for his uncle , JOHN POTTER in Guyana , where he met and married my Mom , JOAN MITCHELL ( Another story )
My Dad would love to come home to Montrose.
It would thrill him to hear from someone who knew him or his family .
Thank-you |

hi names daniel and im 21.
I work in sunnyside hospital as a nursing assistant.
hobbies include fishing. computers and computer gaming. my car and attending various car shows. and a good old drunken saturday night.
Dont know how much i'm welcome to this site as i'm one of the local cruisers or "boy racers" as we are usually reffered to.
I think montrose is a great place but think the attitude towards the cruisers is awful, most people would find if they spoke to us about problems they have with us i.e foolish driving etc they would find that the large majority of us are actually decent law abiding people and its a small minority of idiots who are creating our bad reputation.
but not to worry because a few of us are setting up what will be known as cruisers union montrose, and it will include legal advice for the cruisers and possibly representation to deal with people who pick on us and bad mouth us when we are not there to defend ourselves.
If people want to fight wiith us instead of reasnobly discussing problems then thats exactly what will happen. |

Hello, I was born in Montrose in 1955 to Catherine Macdonald (nee McLennan) and John Macdonald. My granny was Helen McLennan (nee Balneaves) and my granda was Harry McLennan, who was the harbourmaster in the late 1950's and died at his post. I went to the Southesk School where Mrs. Madgett, Miss Coull and Mrs. Alves all had their hands full with me. I was introduced to Mr. Dewar's strap a few times as well. We lived in Orange Lane underneath Mick and Dot Thornton, who emigrated to New Zealand, and along from Tam and Ina Lochhead. My sister Isla was born in 1959, and she went to the North Links. Our family emigrated to Canada in 1966 and have been here ever since. I was back in Montrose in 2000, shortly after my dad died. I was able to show my son Johnathan that the places I had been telling him about really do exist. I don't think he believed me up to then. Montrose was a great place to grow up, and I'm very glad to find this website. I look forward to hearing from anyone who might remember me. |

I was born in Charleton Maternity home on 12th August 1966. My parents lived in "Westwood" in Newmanswalls.
We moved to England in April 1969 as my Dad found a job in the paper mills down here.
My father John Brodie MacKenzie originally from Fife, but my mother, Barbara Mary Milne Macleod, although born in Greenock her family I believe were originally Montrosians.
There are still many Milnes in Montrose, and my grandparents were Pattons, so I have very storng blood links to probably half the population of Montrose.
I'd really like to hear from anyone that remembers my family, ro anyone that might be related.

I'm fairly new to Montrose and still learning about the place - it's a lovely town and somewhere I comfortably call home only 3yrs in. I'm currently tracing my family tree and am trying to find out information on the furniture shop McIvers.

Any history on the shop would be great to know about, relation or not. |

Hi, my name is Christine Pee (nee West) and my great grandfather (maternal) was Robert Stewart (born 1811) from Montrose. I have found a medal presented to a Robert Stewart in 1881 for saving life from a shipwreck. Any information regarding the shipwreck would be appreciated and possibly about Robert Stewart as I think it is unlikely to be my great grandfathe as he would have been 70 years old. Coming to Scotland later this year (2005) and hope to reseach the Stewart side of the family. I know the Stewart line married the McBain (or McBean)and went on to marry into the West family living in Blairgowrie (Euphemia and John). My e-mail is n1cmp@yahoo.com. Thanks in anticipation. |

Born in Charlton maternity home 1n 1952.Just retired after being a police officer in Toronto Canada for 30 years.I need to return for a visit one of these days and possibly bring my 37 year old wife..lol She is German/Austrian..It amazes me that we all intermix so much..She and I have no shared heritage but had a desire to show each other where we came from...

I was born in Arbroath but lived in 19 Mount Road in the 1950's, with my grandfather, James Gray, living at 25. He won so many prizes with his competitons he entered. I remember him telling me he was a cabinet maker for a long time in Montrose, before that, a ropemaker. I wonder if anyone remembered the Grays at 25? The lighting was from gas lights on the chimney breast, a sink was in the front window, the main bedroom was at the back with one attic room being the sleeping area for his five children, one of whom was my mother, Doris. Oh, how well off we are these days! |
|
Hi I'm trying to track down my brother in law's father or his father's family however we have very little information. All we know about Ste's dad is that his name was Keith Valentine, he would be in his 50's now and came from the Montrose area. Keith met Ste's mum Carol whilst he was travelling with a fair ground around 1976. If anyone as any information or is related to Keith it would be great to hear from you. Many thanks. |

Lived here from 1950 (when I was three) to 1972, when I got married and moved away. Many fond memories of small town seaside life and school friends, plus of course we all remember the great teachers - Tom Long and Charles Myles for me, along with many others - messrs Socha, Shepherd, Cowie and Smeaton, not forgetting the formidable 'Nan the Man', from whom I learned a standard of English seldom seen today, alas. My father was Gavin Pinkerton, well known golfer and local worthy. |

My father, John Anderson, lived at Esk View, Rossie Island Road, Montrose with his parents, James/Jimmy and Agnes Anderson (Agnes sadly died in 1941 and James later remarried to Margaret), and his brother, Peter, and sister, Jill. James Anderson was manager at Chivers Jam Factory in Montrose. The family lived there from around late 1920s up until the 1980s. If anyone has any memories, photos, etc. of my family, I'd love to hear from them, either via this site or by e-mail to: jan.saunders1@virgin.net. Also, does the house Esk View still exist on Rossie Island Road, or has it been redeveloped? - again, any memories, info or photos would be great. |

I was born in Charleton Maternity Home in Montrose in 1962, but only live there for a few months (in my uncle/aunt's (Bertie/Eileen Booth) place, Castleview. I had another aunt in the town (Viv McBain) and cousins Scott and Lynne McBain. My grandfather Walter Scott owned a tobaconist in the High Street for a while. Although I didn't remain long in the town (went to Kilsyth, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Killearn, London, Billingham and now in Newcastle) I still look out for the team results, and pop up to Berwick when we play there. I'm passing through in a couple of weekends and will a) try to find Charleton Maternity Home (couldn't locate it last time) and b) buy some meelie pudding. |

Great website and free but was disappointed at how few names I recognised (John Martin, Neal Mathers)but I suppose you only know people from your year at school or a few years either side.
Attended Montrose Academy 1958-1970 and then had a connection or lived there myself until 1994. I live in Aberdeen which is not far away but there is nothing to come back for. Still look for Montrose FC result first.
Have worked mainly as a geologist in oil and gas but have lectured in Further Education and driven buses in my long and undistinguished career.
I have happy memories of all my late golfing adversaries (Donald Alexander, Doug Ross, Ian Fraser, Stan Cuthbert, Dave Nicoll)
Hoping to retire to Montrose before I join them. If not will be resting in Sleepyhillock.

I am trying to research my family tree, members of whom lived in Montrose in the 18th and 19th century. My great grandfather was Charles Dunlop (b.1837) who married Emma Ching (or Chinn)from Belfast. His parents were Alexander Dunlop (b? and d.1840) and Elizabeth, nee Cheyne, (b.1814) I don't know who Alexander's parents were, but Elizabeth's were Robert and Sarah (nee Herd). If anyone can help me fill in some of the gaps, I would be very grateful. |
