John Muir Cameron born 1896 in Glasgow. I found him on the 1901 Census, he was a Butcher, the same as his father, Thomas Cameron. I also found the death of Frances in The Royal Infirmary in 1933; I had always been told that she died in childbirth but I cannot see any evidence of a child being born. I would dearly love to find where she and he were buried. I believed they lived in Earl Street and she was a RC. Would some kind person point me in the right direction as this is the only Scottish connection I have, the rest of mine are Irish. Thank you.

hi,
i was reading your post and i wondered how he could he be a butcher in 1901 if he was born in 1896?
what was the cause of death on the death certificate?
What was the address on the marrage certificate?

Thanks for the speedy replies! Sorry, I didn't make myself clear, I found John on the 1901 Census, and he later became a Butcher, the same as his father, Thomas Cameron. Thomas Cameron was married to Elizabeth Jamieson and they lived at White Street, at the time of the census. John had five siblings. I have not found his marriage to Frances yet, as they may have married in US. On the Death Cert it says " (undeciperable word.)thrombosis...5 days. paralysis of intestines." she was 32.
And Thomas Cameron was also born in Glasgow.

this is john's birth on scotlands people. this will give you an address for the family.
if he was a butcher like his father, do you think he could have worked in the family business. maybe we could look at the phonebooks on ancestry. do you think the butcher's was in glasgow around 1933?

do you reckon this is frances's birth?

I know very little about John but Frances was my aunt and was born in Ireland. As you can see my knowledge is sketchy! What I am particularly interested in i where I would find their graves, but any information would be great.

i've had a quick look and can see 2 cameron butcher's in glasgow in the 30s, robrt cameron and j.clelland cameron. probably not yours.
on the death certificate it should say the usual residence. Is there an address there and we could look on a map to see where the nearest church or cemetry was?

hang on a minute - exciting thought! i had a quick look on a map and earl street is right beside the address for the robert cameron butcher in the phonebook. Could be a coincidence i know but it could be the family butchers

Thank you so much for going to all the trouble! Robert was one of John's brothers so it is likely that it was the family butchers. Will now search through the website you have given.

the only Slavin I know of in Larnark is John Slavin who married Janet Darby. He was a shoemaker and lived in Cheapside St. His second wife was an Ellen Mclauchlan who died jan 1901 curiously she (Ellen) is still living at Cheapside Poor house Infirmary 3 months later in census record her husband John is at 42 Cheapside St (a widower)
