James and Margaret moved to Girvan,Ayrshire, where they ran James
Gilchrist's Wine and Spirits Shop on Dalrymple Street. A few
years later they moved 25 miles north to the town of Ayr where
they
opened the same business. James died about 1929 and his wife
continued
to
run the business until her death in 1935. Their son James then
took
over the
business and was noted in the records as being a Publican. The
business
seems to have passed out of the family by late 50's or early
60's.
Pamela went to the street and found the pub but the name has
changed to
'Wee
Windaes', which refers to the bulls eye window glass.
