 Wellwynd Street has been rebuilt but these remaining old houses are the only
remains of the old street. They are old weavers cottages.
This old church and graveyard are at Wellwynd Street. The graves
are too old for any of the Andrew family to be there. There was nothing to say
what church this was and looks to be closed down. the graveyard was full of
broken bottles and beer cans as well as the remnants of drug addicts.

Thanks to Barry Warner for the
additional family leads!
Barry sent me a tree which made my
day! It was for the family of Robert Andrew and Helen Crawford. A family
member, in Largs ,had made the tree for him some years ago and it added a
few children to the family as well as providing a mention that their son
John had gone to Canada. I followed this lead up and the additional
information is on his page.
