Hi all, can anyone help or give me some advice, my grandfather lived in 72 Denbeck Street Shettleston and his son lived in 34 Ducraig Street, Shettleston, my grandfather, James Mills Stewart died in The Victoria Infirmary Glasgow on the 9th December 1959 and his son James Stewart signed the death certificate, any help would be very much appreciated as I've been trying for quite some time to trace any living relatives.

I think this may be the best place to ask. Does anyone know if the building on Shettleston Road previously occupied by John Wheatey college is now used for any purpose or is it empty?

Academy House, 1346 Shettleston Road, Glasgow G32 9AT. Is still in use and provides office accomodation for various services including among others the local MP. The former School annexe in Academy Street is something to do with health advice.

I used to attend the then Eastbank Academy (The old one not the new) and returned their when it was John Wheatly College and was surprised at just how much of the interior had changed, quite a good building inside though the exeterior needs some work.

Fantastic Busdriver; thanks for that. It is such a lovely builing that I would hate to see it lay empty and fall into disrepair.

Thanks again

As far as I was aware they were trying to let out the old Eastbank Academy/JWC building as office space the last time I was back in my homeland. As a former Eastbank Academy inmate I did my time in the new building , I've actually only ever been in the old building once - and that was in 1983 on polling day when my parents were in to cast their vote!! I do distinctly remember thinking at the time - "I'm not looking forward to coming to this s**hole when I leave primary school!". Fortunately the new building had been finished by the time I was 12!

Hi Calamity and ibtg, I got a bit of advice about going to the Mitchell Library and checking out the voters roll for that time and also to tell the staff what family I was looking for as they can be very helpful with this type of search, as always I'll let you know how things turn out, this may help others in my position.
