i came from parks street cambuslang there was a small general store there and the biggins twins visited there regular , i think it was there auntie her name was ann goldie .
Yes my Dad Eddie and his twin Phil were born in Park Street also. And yes their Aunt was Ann Goldie.
Great to hear from you Tommy. I have been trying to find a picture of the twins from St Bride's School in Cambuslang. I have searched all the school pictures on edwardboyle.com but I have found nothing. I have found my mother's pic, Agnes Drainey, and my aunt's picture big Annie McBride (who married Phil), but nothing of my Dad and his twin brother.
Thank you so much. Finally I have what I've been searching for years. I can see the resemblance of Phil especially wearing his glasses. I notice that my Dad, Eddie, is not wearing his but I know it's him. They're both dressed the same lol, typical of twins and that continued for many years into their adult life.
You bring back such memories Ed with your site, it's a wonderful thing.
I came across this and I knew your dad and uncle they lived in the circuit my uncle had the wee shop on Westburn road it was called Walsh's. I ran about with the twins step sister Myra McKenzie when I was 16 I was always in there house I moved away and never seen Myra again but I met up with her in 2008 at a school reunion in cambuslang gateside school and I stayed friends with her till she died . I remember her mum which would be your dad's mother I have a picture with Myra and Phil Biggins in it and a young girl Angela magowan and Phil is holding a baby . If you want the picture I will send you it it was taken in 1961 Myra was crazy for her twin brothers lovely men best regards Margie Thomson

I see you posted a note about the Biggins family on my website forum page. I am not sure that anyone now reads the forum. Perhaps best if you copy your message to the email address shown, or I could relay your message to the Auld Cmbuslang facebook group?
