Title: ADVICE re GORBALS RESIDENTS
Post by: Pricey4848 on Friday 20 July 12 21:18 BST (UK)

Is there any way I can find out who was living at 317 Thistle Street Gorbals after 1911.


Im looking for the HERON family.


Thanks

Hi Pricey

It is a bit of a scramble after 1911, most of it not available online unfortunately.

Some sources and ideas:

Valuation Rolls - with the exception of a few years, you would need to search this at a local reference library. Scotlands People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk have recently added the 1915 database online and are looking to extend this over time. You can search the 1913/4 one here www.theglasgowstory.com/valindex.php

Online Post Office Directories for the Glasgow area stop around 1911/2 - www.nls.uk/family-history/directories/post-office/index.cfm?place=Glasgow  The only exception for online info is the 1927 Glasgow Directory here http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~glasgow/index-glas.htm

Have you followed through the Heron family, through their life events (births, marriages and deaths)? This often gives you the main clues as to where families were living.

Hi Pricey,

I had a look at the Valuation rolls of 1913-14, Ward 19, p036

I found this:

It will be the head of household, male or female  ::) My grandmother, a widow, is the one named for those years.
