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 Parks
