Looking For Forest Hall Options

[brit]

Hi new to this...found it by chance google.....lol....I was born in Glasgow 1966 if memory is right Drumchaple and then moved to Pollock when i was 7... Then on to Toronto Canada when i was 9 ......I have been doing some Ancestry online all very interesting stuff...most i know My mum has a great memory...lol...thank goodness. I have quite a few memories myself just hard to put some together....Before we left Glasgow we stayed in a place called Forest Hall 1974...we were homeless because my father was abusive big time.....I remember the place we were there only a cpl months when my Grandparents who were in Canada already sent tickets for us to come to Canada....The only thing i can find is a Forest Hall that is refered to as a old folks home..or a poor house that would fit we were very poor......Can this be the place? Not sure if anyone can help.....

Hi brit,

I think that Foresthall, Balornock, would have been the place where you stayed. The 'home and hospital' has been discussed quite a few times on the boards, mainly under its address, 657 Edgefauld Rd, and also under 'Barnhill Poor House'. it former name.
