Video talk - 'Left at the Wellgate' - now online!

This talk is a fascinating exposition by Jamie Lees, a Canadian writer, designer, producer, and independent historian, of uncovering and telling the story of her ancestor Mary Petrie Smith or Clark - a lass from Arbroath who married in Dundee and who, in 1911, left her two young sons in their pram in front of a pub in Dundee's Wellgate and made her way, via Port Glasgow, to Canada. And Mary's story doesn't end there...

It's a really great example of perseverance by a family historian, who was looking critically at all records and contacting family members - and Jamie has met several 'new' family members in discovering this story. Q&A with Jamie on Monday 26th October, 8.00 p.m. (and remember that the clocks will have just changed).
