I've done a drifting off now. 1939 Register for that part of Queen Street brings back all the shop names! The Gibsons are there at 94. He is a cinema proprietor and his war duty is "member of the committee for food and fuel". There are Archbolds (hairdresser); Hogg (drapery); Boaden (fish, game and poultry dealer); Baston (cinema manager); Robertson (ladies and gents outfitters); Roland (butcher); McManus(fish shop); Dodds (police inspector). And that is only part of Queen Street 96-20.
