I have recently been looking into the history of the original Garelochhead Bus Company and its predecessors, with the eventual aim to put together a website.

My target is a website, but there is a considerable amount of work to be done before I would consider it a live website, especially regarding photographs etc.

MAY I introduce myself as the son of Helen McPherson Scott, who had a twin brother Ronald Scott, and they were born on December 12 1912 in Glasgow.

I AM a descendant of an early Helensburgh resident and I am trying to find out more about him and his parents.

My ancestor was Hugh McGregor, who was born in Helensburgh on October 7 1827 — only 25 years after the town became a burgh of barony — and I would like to find details of his parents.

Hi there,

My name is Kieth T.Jones, I was born on June 5 1964, and I'm researching my family tree.

FIRST of all, may I take this opportunity to thank you for such an informative web site of Helensburgh.

My parents are both from Helensburgh and I and my family lived on the Naval Estate at Churchill for 10 years when I was based at Faslane — I played rugby for Helensburgh first team for those 10 years, preferring to play for Helensburgh rather than the Naval Base team.

Dear Editor,

I have the privilege of being a direct descendant of Thomas Connelly who lived in Helensburgh from 1852 until his death in 1894 aged 76 years.

Dear Sir,

I am researching the heritage of my grandfather, Max Ashton Isaac, born 27 October 1894 to parents Max Albert Isaac and Annie Maud Isaac, nee Ashton.

Hi,

Thank you for an excellent account of Helensburgh past and present, and for posting the marvellous photos, especially the ones of Hermitage.
