This page gives information about the main burial grounds in Glasgow:
http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/en/Residents/BirthDeathMarriage_Citizenship/Death/Burialgrounds/
There were large privately or trust owned burial grounds in Glasgow.
These were open to Roman Catholics and other denominations.
Glasgow Council now administer most of these burial grounds.
Contact them to look up the burial registers.
The Southern Necropolis is the first one I would try for someone who lived in Hutchesontown.
See http://www.southernnecropolis.com/

Thanks for the reply, i have visited the southern necropolis and had no luck, most of the old stones have been pushed over covering the names. i will give the other web site a try. thank you for the information. regards stuart
