John's brother Robert lived round the back in Albert Drive (now Road), as did several other Andersons, all unrelated. Got to be impressed how history anticipated the existence of family historians and decided to mess with their heads.

Greek Thomson had lived in Apsley Place in the Gorbals, once prosperous, but hit by the ravages of Cholera. He designed 1-10 Moray Place, then moved into No 1. It's curious that occupants of 6, 8, 9 & 11 were also from Apsley Place.
