Where I was born and when
:
I was born in the town of Airdrie, Lanarkshire, Scotland at
1p.m. on Thursday, 31st August 1939. 3 days later, I was baptised at St. Margaret's R.C.
Church, Airdrie. On the same day Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister, announced that
Britain had declared war on Germany.

whom. Where they were educated. Where they met. What they did for a living and assorted
anecdotes from their lives.
:
My mother and father were both born in 1903 in Glasgow.
Jim
McIntyre, my father, was the 7th son to be born to Mary (nee Devine) and Tom M'Intyre. 4 of
these boys died in infancy; his other two brothers were called John and Ignatius. Sadly, his
mother died in 1906, having given birth to a baby girl, called Mary Josephine(Mamie).The
three younger children were taken back to Ireland to be cared for within the extended
family headed by their grandparents, Big Da and Big Ma. John joined his brothers and
sister a year later. All the children attended Doaghbeg School;John and later Jim continued
their education at St. Eunan's College Letterkenny. John became a priest, and my father
trained to be a teacher at Dundee College in Scotland.

Catherine (Cassie) Callaghan was my mother's
maiden name. Her birthplace was Tollcross
in the Eastern outskirts of the city. Her parents, Rose and Tommy, came from Fanad, the
same part of Donegal that my father's people came from. There were 8 children, Susan,
Cassie, Mary, Hugh, Agnes, Tommy, Eddie and Rosemary. My mother was 16 by the time
Rosemary was born and already attending Glasgow School of Art, having first attended St.
Joseph's Primary school, where she won a scholarship to Notre Dame High School,
Dowanhill. She went on to teach Art having completed her teacher training at Jordanhill
College. A more detailed account of my mother's story can be found in "Cassie"
a small
book compiled with care by my brother John, from my mother's own written and
oral memories.

As my Father was brought up in Doaghbeg, Fanad, and my mother's family spent their
annual summer holiday at her grandparents home in Tullynadal, Fanad, it is not impossible for them to
have met in childhood, (indeed my Grandfather Tommy Callaghan, in his youth, worked on the farm
my father grew up on) but their paths first really crossed at my maternal Grandparents house in
Tollcross.

did for a living, their partners and children and assorted anecdotes from their lives :
The first to born in our family was named Thomas Benedict, and arrived on March 21st 1936. Tom was
an only child for only a very short time as John came along on the 12th November 1937. On November
1st 1941 the fourth member of the McIntyre family was born, my wee brother Jim.

for a living
All Saints
I remember clearly my first day at school, Miss Laughlin, showed me two desks, the first
and second in the row nearest the window. She told me that my two brothers had sat in
those desks when they had been in her class, and asked me which one I wanted to have. I
chose the second desk.(More about my education and career...).

My husband, where we met, our children and anecdotes from our lives :
Talking about the old rhymn about the different characters that children
have depending on which day they were born put me in mind of an uncharacteristic superstition,
about days of the week, which I succumbed to in the runup to the birth of my youngest daughter Una.
I love my sons dearly but when I became pregnant for a fifth time, it was only natural that I began
praying that the new arrival would be a little girl, I so wanted Angela to have a little sister. The
consultant I saw told me that, as it was so soon after the Martins birth (which was an emergency
caesarian) I would have to have another operation this time.
Friends United Message Board For more about my family, see latest news below
All proceeded normally, and I was eventually told to come to hospital on Wednesday 13th November
1973, in preparation for the operation on the Thursday morning. Now, all the boys had been born on a
Thursday (30/01/69, 03/09/70 and 09/11/72). Its funny how the mind works, I had never thought
of myself as superstitious, but I did not want this baby arriving on a Thursday. I was actually relieved
when I developed a chest infection and the op had to be postponed. I am sure that it is only a
coincidence that our precious little Una did not arrive till tuesday (19/11/73), the same day of
the week that her sister Angela had been born (03/01/1967)

February 2021. I now use Facebook to keep in touch with people but I know from looking at the website statistics that many people still visit this page so I will use this place to pass on to any visitors the very sad anniversary of my husband Franks passing, 5 years ago, on 11 February 2016, Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers, please contact me via Facebook if you want to visit his last resting place http://www.facebook.com/rosaleen.carr Also, thank you again for all the kindness, condolences and help we have received at the time and ever since. I was happy to be able to contact each and every one of you in time.
Looking back at that time, I recall again my sincere gratitude, and the sincere gratitude of my family, to the wonderful healthcare workers who treated Frank throughout what became his final illness, particularly the staff at Blenheim Head and Neck unit, the Macmillans nurses and the Interim care staff provided through Franks care package. Just like with Franks brothers Michael and John, who both died back in in 2008, the hospital staff were there to support Franks fight to regain his health all the way to the bitter end. When the end did come, just as with his nephew Sean in 2014, they were there to assist me and the family in every way and beyond the call of duty.Franks Funeral Announcement in our local paper Frank : In Memoriam Announcement in our local paper
