I believe Fernbank to be the home where my father was born in 1932 (Andrew Neish). My father returned to the house a few years ago & was very kindly invited in by the then resident.

Would anyone know why a house in Upminster, Essex, where we live, would be called "Montgarrie"? No-one locally here has any idea.

Very interested in this photo. My grandfather, Charles Shand with wife and two children lived in Donview ca 1907 when he was a tailor in Montgerrie. My aunt, Mary Shand, began school in Montgerrie before they emigrated to Australia in 1911. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has further information on these cottages. I took a photo of them in 2001

Montgarrie
Both halves of the house was Fernbank until I moved into the nearer end and re-named it, to save any problem with mail etc.
