Blackfriar's People

June - James Kerr - james182kerr@btinternet.com

Hi Gordon,

I was looking in the secondhand bookshop in Bridge of Allan when I found a book called George Square, Glasgow written by Thomas  Sommerville M.A. of Blackfriars Parish.  I wonder if you could give me some information on the author.  It is a very interesting book about the statues in the Square and their lives, it is also a presentation copy to a Mr. W. F. Anderson and is dated 1899.  If you have any info on him this would be great,  also was there a Commercial Street in Dennistoun at the turn of the century?

I look forward to your reply,

Regards,
