Title: Burial records of Smith Anderson/Glasgow
Post by: Billy Anderson on Sunday 02 November 08 10:13 GMT (UK)
Looking for Burial information on  my Ancestor Smith Anderson.
He was born in Scotland in1861.
Emigrated to America.
He died in Glasgow whilst visiting from America.
He died on the 20th of April 1935 at 4 Park gate,Glasgow usual address 2452 Encinal ave Alameda, California
Cause of death Carcinoma of Prostate operation Syncope.
The informant of his death is his Niece Alice Rankin of 948 Sauchiehall st. Glasgow
I am assuming he was buried in Glasgow but I suppose it is feasible his body was shipped back to America i really do not know.
Any help would be most appreciated with burial records or article in local newspaper of his death.
many thanks Billy Anderson

Hi Anne,
I have 5 Smith Anderson,s so far are you up for this here goes.
 To John Anderson and Janet Binning of Bathgate  a son called Smith Anderson born 1826 Smith the 1st =Bathgate.
Smith the 1st marries Marion Bennie   this Smith is  the Provost of Kilsyth.
They have a son( Smith  the 2nd) born on 11/04/1861 Kilsyth he emigrates to America but dies in Glasgow.He has a son called Smith Chesley Anderson born in America (Smith the 4th) who has a son Smith Chesley Jnr.(Smith the 5th)
 Smith the 5th being the last Smith born but it could all change.
William Anderson and Hellen Miller of Denny have a son called yip you guessed it Smith born 11/091867Denny( Smith the 3rd) Denny, marries Mary Anderson.
So the Smith Anderson,s burial pos in Glasgow is the son of Smith Anderson the provost of Kilsyth.

Smith                     1st born  Bathgate  1826
Smith                     2nd born Kilsyth      1861
Smith                     3rd born Denny       1867
Smith Chesley         4th born America      1900
Smith Chesley Jnr.   5th born America      1929
Hope this makes sense ,Im off for a lie down!!
 Kind regards Billy

Still looking and wondering if Smith was buried in Glasgow or shipped back to America for burial any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

I phoned the Council office for burials at the Trongate and was informed that not all records are computerised and it would cost 59 pounds for a search to be carried out on my behalf.
In the past I have found them helpful in the past and happy to do a quick search when I have went in person.
Maybe I was the 462nd phone call of the day and was the last straw!!
( I did phone late Friday afternoon).
He died at 4 Park gate would that be near Park circus?
The informant of his death as I mention lived in Sauchiehall st.
If in fact he was buried in Glasgow what grave yard do you think he was Buried in ?
Any tiny piece of info would be most appreciated.
I just love it when you get one answer to a Piece of the family jigsaw and then it gives  you another 12 questions to sort out , Billy.

Hello Billy!

I stumbled upon this site over the weekend. Looks like you have done quite a bit of research on the Anderson ancestry! My grandfather was Smith Chesley Jr. 1929. He kept the tradition going and named his son (my father) Smith Anderson 1956. Interestingly enough he actually goes by Bill! I'll add to your list below! Just dropping in to say hello.

Smith                     1st born  Bathgate  1826
Smith                     2nd born Kilsyth      1861
Smith                     3rd born Denny       1867
Smith Chesley         4th born America      1900
Smith Chesley Jnr.   5th born America      1929
Smith William Anderson 6th born America? 1956

Regards,

Tyler
