Back Row: No 5 is Archie Kemp, father of Eoin & Stuart

My mistake, it should be Jim Fred BROWN rather than Burgess in the back row. He had a bakery and shop in the 'Hope, on the site of the Cafe than now bears nis name.

Alex Mair had three daughters - Sheena (or Sheila?) Helen and Sadie and one son Jack - we lived next to them in Manse Road and later two doors away in Nicolson Street. The whole family moved to Aberdeen sometime in the sixties
