Rose-Ann a wonderful Glesca mammy who lived for her
family and always put them first. The family lived at No.6 Savoy
Street Bridgeton and I have a wonderful photo which mum was proud
of, taken around 1960 of their son Joe when he was 3-4yrs old.
.
Rose-Ann (Murty) attended Sacred Heart Primary school in Bridgeton see the
school photograph of her and her classmates taken in
1946
in GlescaPals.
Her faither Joe Murty was quite a character in and around Brigton and the 1955
photo taken in London of him supporting Scotland is a belter. |

This photograph was taken around Xmas
time in 1988.
There's Joe's faithir, wee Shug, and Mum
Rose-Ann.
Jojax is the good looking guy with the 'tash, and the
wee boy is his son, Jamie, who is now almost 20 years old!!

This 'grainy' photograph was taken after Joe's wedding
in Hawick, 1990.
The bonny girl sitting beside her Mum is Hilda.

Wee Shug's 65th birthday was in 1995 and
what a surprise he got!

Extract from e-mail, June
2005, Joe Skivington, Kelso, Scotland.
Hi Webmaister Wull, through the wonder of GlescaPals, ma faither and ma sister
travelled through tae Glesca (Mitchell Library) on Wednesday night. The
old man met 2 first cousins that he never even knew existed! Ma younger
cousin, incidentally was one of the cabaret acts on Wednesday night, so
she treated the entire party to free tickets and VIP treatment. Ma faither
reckons it was one of the best experiences of his life, and all due to the
success of your website. I thought you would be chuffed to know.
Best Wishes.....Jojax.

Very sad to hear that our GlescaPal Jojax died on Thursday 11 Feb 2021 his family were with him and he died peacefully.
Although I never met Jojax we had many an online banter and I looked
upon him as a friend and of course a GlescaPal. I designed this
webpage for him for his parents in June 2004.
Sincere condolences to his wife Maureen and the family.
Rest in peace pal.
Webmaister.
