Gone but not forgotten

Here is the village photograph from 1985. 

 

 We started a project to put names to faces. The first step was to copy the photograph and number everybody.  

 Then several people helped in the identification process. That produced the following list.

The tables show the surnames that people had in 1985. That is because those names might appear in other documents and photographs held by the NL Trust and others.

New Lanark was a very different place then.

The village still had a strong community spirit and villagers organised a range of activities. These included the annual games on the Caithness Row green, meals and dances in the church, coach trips, walks and many others. See this post.

Several of the 75 people in the photograph had worked in the mills until they closed in 1966.

Five of the people in the photograph still live in the village but most have gone to a better place, or Lanark.

Who is missing? Who lived in the village in 1985 but is not in the photograph?

I know of the following

Alveys - 1 Braxfield Row
Kellys - 2 Braxfield Row
Rances - Long Row [still in village]
Hardies  - 4 Braxfield Row
