PRYDE

by elizabeth waterhouse 25 July

Hello, My father and grandfather were born in Gala, at 152 Lintburn Street. I wonder if any one has any recollection of my Grandfather or Great Grandfather whose names were , James Wlliam and John respectively? My Grandfather was a freemason. I was named elizabeth after my Grandmother. Also are there any other Prydes' still living here???

I also have a certificate which describes my Grandfather's Lairs 24 and 86 section E/1, I wonder if they exist at Eastland Cemetery still ??

Borders Family History Society have recorded the gravestone inscriptions for Galashiels Eastlands and published them on a CD. More about this at http://blog.bordersfhs.org.uk/2010/10/new-monumental-inscriptions-for.html

Memories, Nostalgia & History

History doesn't have to be in black & white

Your memory of a local character or a school photo from the last ten years can be just as interesting as wars and Victorians.
