Thanks for the information. Does the Mitchell respond to written requests or do one have to go in person.

Hi,

 Margaret Isabella Henning [see below]died in Govan Poorhouse, I would love to know if it is possible to find out where she is buried. I live in Northern Ireland and cannot get to the Mitchell in person. I would be most grateful if anyone making a trip to the Mitchell would check the records for me.  Thanks.

I am researching the tragic life of my relative William Henning and his wife Ellen Davidson Dodds and their family
They left Ireland [ Newry Co. Down] around 1901 for Glasgow with their daughter Sarah Ann Victoria [ born in Ireland 1900]and settled in Maclean Street Govan, Glasgow. [ Sarah Ann Victoria died in 1914 in Glasgow]
Their second child Margaret Isabella Henning was born on the 10 July 1902 at 69 Mclean Street, she died in Govan Poor House on 9th June 1906.  The 3rd child Mary Jane Henning was born on the 19th September 1904 at 10 Mclean St Govan she lived just 11 months dying on the 11 September 1905.

Ellen [ William's wife ]died on 15th May 1905 aged 24. William enlisted in the Great War with the Inniskillen Fusiliers -- and yes you guessed it he was killed on the 15th October 1918 --less than a month from the end of the war.
