Thanks for that. Have you any idea as to what house number they lived in? what has happened to them?
They are not the family I seek but any help would be appreciated,

If I can take up a little more of your time you lovely people.Do any of you know how long Steven St. was and how the numbers ran? For example,what would the numbers have been at the corners in each pic.?

And! more important still, did any of you, or do you know of any families that lived there in the late 1940's early 1950's

a lot to ask I know but there is a reason.

Thank you all once again

If you phone The Mitchell Library 0141 287 2910 or 2988 or e mail lil@cls.glasgow.gov.uk or archives@gcl.glasgow.gov.uk and give them as much information as possible. The street, the Year{s} in question and they will look up the appropriate Kelly's or Post Office street directories. These list the the numbers and who occupied the buildings.

Hello ther'e, Steven st did not have many closes(entrances) in it I think there were only eight. The New City Rd end had a church at one corner and Wood & Selbys (Department Shop) the other. At the Shamrock St end both corners had a public house, I was born in Shamrock St opposite the church and lived there till the late sixties.

Thanks popscotch.

I don't know whether to say any more yet. To give the nuimber in Steven St, let alone the name of the family, may alert my adversary. I have tried before and succeeded[?] but am not happy with the result. For example, I never had contact with the family member I was seeking, only another sibling. For all I know that sibling may be monitoring this site, bearing in mind he lives in Glasgow. Unfortunately I do not know how to proceed., Softly I think. To quote the motto of Hogwart's School of Magic and Wizardry "Draco Dormens Nunquam Tittilandus" loosely translated as Don't annoy the sleeping Dragon biggrin.gif
Will see how events turn out but will still need help fae a ye braw fowks.

a. menzies

Thanks very much for your info.
The family I am seeking lived at No. 7 and were named Walker. From there they flitted to Glencoe Avenue and then to somewhere in Cambuslang. I had lost touch by then. I visited them in Steven Street once only in January 1951. We were flitting ourselves from Aberdeen to North Wales and while we usually changed trains at Perth I persuaded my Ma to carry on to Glasgow so I could visit the Walkers. I cannot really remember much of that visit.
Once again my thanks.

My Grandmother, Mrs Theresa Hay, (may have been known as Thompson), lived at 17 Steven Street, and died there in 1965.
I would be very grateful if anyone had any information about her, or about Steven Street in general.
Because of family reasons, sadly I never met her or even knew of her existence until a few years ago.
Thank you.

My grandparents stayed at No 35 Steven Street which was the last close next to Wood & Selby's which was at the corner of Steven Street and New City Road. They stayed there from around 1930 until early 1970's when the buildings were demolished.

I also stayed at 30 (1 think)Stevens St from around 1960 till it was demolished, we were practically the last people out. Our close was the second one up from Woolworths.
