We are currently trying to research our family tree, I see that your dad's parents' lived at number 19 Martyr Street Glasgow as our grand parents did in the 1920's-30's? and our dad was born. Their names were Thomas and Helen Hamilton (nee Joynes) and had five children. If you can give me any information about them or any surviving relatives you may be aware of we would be very grate ful Many thanks.

My great grandfather, John Weir, left his family, in Ireland, in the early 1920s. He was never seen or heard from again until I recently found his death. He died 16 May 1930 and at the time was living 23 Martyr St. He was known to fashion himself as a Dentist/Dental Mechanic but, personally, I'd say a chancer, conman!!!
Would anyone be able to tell me anything about him? What Martyr St was like in the late 1920s early 1930?
