Thank you to Mary Crowe for emailing me this old payslip of our Uncle Edward McGuire, who used to work with the Summerlee Iron Company, a miner at Bardykes Colliery.
From the 11th January 1930, the slip records the tonnage of coal extracted, and has a lot of welfare benefits such as doctors pay, infirmary costs or extra equipment hire.
Correcting my email address. My grandfather Edward McGuire was a miner from Blantyre. Wondering if this is he. His children were John, James, Kathleen and Ed jr.
My grandfather’s name was Edward McGuire. He lived in Blantyre and worked as a miner. Same person? His children were John (my father) Edward junior, James and Kathleen.
