Lilias Forrest nee Main c1890
Hi Bill, It’s been a while since I sent anything to you and thought this might be of interest. I had noted that Ed Boyle has on his Cambuslang site, a photo of a milkmaid, with galvanised pail, and thought, Blantyre can have an older photograph.
This is a photograph of my G. Grandmother, Lilias Main, who married my G Grandfather Andrew Forrest, from The Deans, Cambuslang. The photograph was taken “on location” at the wee farm, at 79 Broompark Road, Barnhill, Blantyre, around 1890 -1891, when Lilias was around 12 or 13. She holds an authentic wooden luggie (milk pail) and four legged stool. Regards, George Park |
Hi Bill, when we look at the present, it is sometimes difficult to link it to our past. Only while doing some work on our family tree did I wonder what our little milkmaid, born in Barnhill, Blantyre in 1878, and featured on the Forrest/Park album, would have thought, had she been told that her great great great grand-daughter would be a talented singer/songwriter, who courtesy of todays technology, and You tube, can be heard world-wide at the press of a few keys, or by clicking the link https://www.youtube.com/user/cherylbrownmusic/videos. |
Begs the question, “what will our successors think of us a hundred years or so from now?”
Regards,
George
