'Baby's Book' to Baby Smyth, With fond love & wishes
from Uncle Bob & Auntie May December 15th 1935
I arrived at the home of my parents
nursing 30 Wellington Park at 5-40 o'clock PM on Sunday 15th December 1935.
Dr. Kidd and Nurse Strickland were also there to receive me. Everyone says I
resemble my Daddy. My eyes are blue
and my hair is dark brown. I weigh 6lbs 10 ozs. They christened me Margaret
Elizabeth because Daddy's Mother's name is Margaret and Mamie's mother's
name is Elizabeth so I am names after my two Grandmothers. Greetings
from Mrs. Hargreaves, Aunt Nell, Mrs. McCourt, Auntie May. Grandpa

jurisdiction of the Harbour Commissioners who had the distinction of
piloting the Royal yacht inside the Belfast pilotage area, was presented to
their Majesties on their arrival at Stranraer on Wednesday night. Mr. Heggan
travelled all the way on the yacht, and when he was introduced to the Royal
visitors by Admiral Dudley North he was engaged by both the King and Queen
