Hi Stephen

Although her address is close to the Southern Necropolis, this may not be where she was buried.

What religion were the family? This often affects the choice of cemetery for Roman Catholics.

Do you know where her husband Thomas or other close family were buried?

Stephen, just adding link to a previous post as it has more details www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=831394.0 See that husband Thomas's death details are not going to help here.

Thomas and Bridget were married in a Catholic ceremony weren't they?

Added: If it was a RC burial, I can't see it so far. Scotlands People have the burial registers for Old Dalbeth/ St Peter's and nothing showing there.

There is also St Kentigern's Catholic Cemetery in Maryhill. Family Search have their burial registers online, see www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1321853?availability=Family  You have to be signed in to view the images. This link www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C34K-VSMM-K?i=624&cat=1321853 takes you to page 625 and a few days after Bridget's death. Unfortunately, can't see anything for her there so far either.

See here www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&query=%2Bkeywords%3Aglasgow&page=1&topic1=Birth, Marriage and Death~Cemeteries for other online burial registers for different cemeteries in Glasgow
