Readers' Enquiries

Q Margaret Cooper is trying to track down her brother James Henderson, whom she has lost touch with. She says: "I know that he used to be a regular reader of your newspaper. I'm hoping that he or someone that knows him sees this and he gets in touch." Margaret migrated to Melbourne in Australia in 1984.

Q John Timms is looking for anyone who remembers going to school at St Margaret's Convent in Morningside or St Peter's in Falcon Avenue. He was at both schools in the 1950s. He can be e-mailed on [email protected].

Q John Stewart, of Livingston, is hoping someone has a photograph of the last remaining tenement in Cables Wynd, Leith, before the "banana flats" were erected – the tenement had the McGovern Pub on its ground level.

Q Louise Christison is trying to trace a photo of a talent contest which she thinks was called Search for a Star that took place in 1970 or 1971 at the Odeon. She says: "The photo was taken by the Evening News. I'm just wondering if anyone has a copy. I've tried to track it down through the Evening News but they need an exact month/year. Does anyone know the exact date please?"
