Does anyone know a man who is 61 years of age on the 16th August 2011.
He was born in Netherlea Maternity Hospital Newport in 1950 and was called David Pollock. At one month old he was adopted. He is known by another name now and possibly has a family of his own. If anyone knows him or can help please get in touch as I have been looking for him for years.

I was wondering if anyone had information on the Wellwoods before they left for Nova Scotia~ Canada. I believe it was the early 1800s. I plan on coming to the UK in Jan 2010 and would like to visit the area that my ancestors are from.

I lived at the Royal Naval Airstation at Donibristle between 1947 & 1949 and attended the old Aberdour Primary School. I now live in the Philippines after living in Australia since 1970 but remember the area well. When last I visited Donibristle about 5 yrs ago the old house that I lived in all those years ago was still standing. Greetings to anybody of my vintage. My son emigrated back to Scotland from Perth~ Australia a couple of years ago and is now the Director of Piping of the National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland in Glasgow. How the years have flown by.

James Lee

Glencraig, Fife (2.4 miles away)

My dad~ also Jim Lee~ was born in Glencraig on May 2~ 1915 at~ I believe~ 1 Burnside Cottage. His dad~ Michael Lee~ was a fireman in one of the local collieries and emigrated to the USA in 1926~ looking for a new life for his family following the General Strike. My dad~ his mom Charlotte Lindsay Lee~ and my dad's younger brother and sister followed Michael in 1927 and settled in Kearney~ New Jersey (a very Scottish burgh at that time). My dad loved Scotland and his Scottish heritage~ but never returned~ even for a visit~ because of the sad memories connected to the mines and the hardships endured in that life. When he was very old (he died in 1997) I think he grieved not having "gone home again"~ so in his memory I just wanted to "touch base" in some way with his birthplace --I was glad to happen upon this website and thus this message. My dad's family's most well-known member was his frst cousin~ Jennie Lee (Nye Bevan's "better half"~ who was the daughter of my grandfather Michael's brother. Even if no one reads this missive I feel as if I accomplished my mission. Thanks. **********************i

• Hi James, we might also be related, my dad was Michael Lee born in lumphinnans in 1933. He always said Jenny Lee was his cousin. I dont know if she was a first or second cousin and my efforts to make the connection have been hampered as I can not get far enough back. I believe there are Irish connections somewhere but I dont know which part of Ireland to search. If you have any info I would be greatful. Elizabeth Hunter Crosshill Fife.

  My Dad was a miner who worked in the Mary Pit before moving to Glencraig pit.
  My grandparents lived in the prefabs in HofB and I remember Dad having a cousin Matthew Ireland. Dad's two sisters, Mary and Nancy, married two brothers Billy and Tam Kydd - I suspect we might be related?
