Hello everyone,
I am hoping to find people on here that worked at Colvilles in the 60s/70s. My late father-in-law and mother-in-law, Joe and Martha Culbert of Stonehouse had both been exposed to asbestos and both died of the effects ie myeloma, lung cancer and mesothelioma.
It appears that Martha inhaled the asbestos when washing Joe's clothes from the works and 40 years later it gave her mesothelioma and she died a painful death.
If anyone worked there and knew either Joe personally, or witnessed that asbestos was loose etc then I really would like to hear from you.
Joe also worked at Faircloughs as a labourer for Faircloughs and was involved in the demolition of the Glasgow tenements. This also is a place where he was almost certainly exposed to asbestos. Either way, this devoted couple who were outgoing, social people deserved to die in this way. My husband lost his mum last year and his dad in 2007 and he's suffered badly from the loss. Please help if you can, thank you.
