She was known as 'Auntie Jeannie' to the McKechnies, and lived much of her adult life at 8, Belville Street in East Greenock. In later years, she moved to a first-floor tenement in East Hamilton Street, opposite the 'big crane' of James Watt Dock. Her kitchen was the main living room, with a black-leaded coal-fired cooking range, and a 'hole-in-the-wall' curtained bed. |
