Title: Coats Street, Coatbridge
Post by: kindu on Tuesday 04 January 22 21:56 GMT (UK)

Hi all, looking for any info regarding who lived in a dwelling (no longer there) At 27 Coats Street, Coatbridge between 1946 - 1949 if it is any help the surname should be Ward.

Unfortunately, the VRs (Valuation Rolls) end in 1940 i.e. you'll need to wait until the next update.

1940

The Proprietor was Captain Graeme S L Whitelaw & the Tenant/Occupier was James MacDougall

However,  a John Ward was Tenant/Occupier at 1 South Main Street (next street to Coats Street) if it's of any help?

Of course there were other Wards in the Old Monkland area where Coats Street is/was.

I noticed Graeme S L Whitelaw seemed to be the proprietor on the side of the street with odd numbers, can't find anything on number 26, having a look at the valuation rolls on Scotland's People, forgot I was a member on that site still got 20 credits to use. the guy I am looking into was a merchant seaman from New Zealand, he is now in his late 90's and health wise not to good, he told his daughter around Christmas that around 1946/47 he was staying at 26 Coats Street, Coatbridge, which was a shock to my partner, during 2021 he has told her a lot of things that she did not know about him so trying to find it for her.

Main Street, Coatbridge is/was adjacent to Coats Street.
South Main Street, which no longer exists, was located a considerable distance away on the south side of Whifflet

Ooops...Thanks Istrice!

I'd looked up the streets on a map but I must've been diverted whilst browsing as my brother was born on South Main Street & for whatever reason it must've stuck in my head when I went searching on the VRs for the name Ward  :-[
