This family had three children, names withheld here.
---
I know both my parents were moved as children to Glasgow, for work I presume. We used to visit a lot of family in Fife. One uncle was the headmaster in Ladybank school in fife. I think he was an Anderson. I also remember visiting an old uncle in Pitenweem. He lived in a lighthouse on the pier. There was also an uncle called Jimmy Hastie who lived in Leven Fife. We saw a lot of him and family. I know that some family moved to America in the 30's but only have one picture of the children. One was called Mary Jane.
