Good Morning!
I very much enjoy reading your posts about Blantyre and the families with connections to the area. If you have time, I would be interested in any information about my great-great grandfather's, Robert Newton (1855-1907), family who lived in Blantyre for a time. Actually my great grandmother, Isabella Newton, was born in the Mc Alpine Building in 1886. I am interested in what their life was like living in Blantyre during this time period. My grandfather's occupation was "grocer", but I have no information regarding what store he worked in. And I am not sure where the family lived in Blantyre. They eventually left Blantyre and were in Oban by 1888 where Robert Newton ran a store. I would appreciate any information you could share. Thank you very much!
