Hello, I am from Dumbarton and I don't know of a "New Street" could it have been Quay Street? it could maybe be why the West Dumbartonshire Council have no record of his death? I'd double check the address.
Did you find it on Ancestry or Scotlands People? Ancestory for the most part needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.
The Denny family have a family vault/lair in Dumbarton Cementary.
If you call Dumbarton Libary they have a name index of death notices published in the Lennox Herald,the local newspaper. They may be able to help shine a light.

Apologies,if my reply sounds condesending, not my intention at all, just wanting to help a little if I can. Hope it all goes well 

How can I see the lists? I am looking for a little boy named William Craig who went off to Australia at the beginning of last century?

Thanks ,
Anne

Yes, Dumbarton Libary Archive holds a full register of those buried at Milburn.
 I know this for sure because I have held it in my hands and used it in my own research. Its an amazing piece of documentation.
 Sadly the number of children buried there is mindblowing. Most of the little ones under a year old don't even have their names recorded, just the word teeth or tooth which means I believe they are under 6 months old.
Also if I remember correctly, some graves were only held as family grave for I think 7 years before someone else was popped on top and in doing this the who is where question can become confusing and not every single person laid to rest there is in the large Millburn grave register .
But yes Dumbarton Library is where you will find A register maybe two. Good luck.

Hi , thank you for the information . I have viewed the valuation roll on SP and I intend to go and view the local papers and the valuation rolls from the late 1930s at the local archive . Thanks for the information on the register of sansies , I will look into that too. I am really interested to learn more about the Patton family who lived there . There is more to the story for me which was confirmed by the 1940 roll . When the houses were first built my grandfather was offered number 84 and the other address of Mr Brown ,I think 76? My grandparents turned the houses down because they were happy where they were in Renton plus my grandfather didn't like the idea of a house with electric clocks! My grandfather worked for the Torpedo factory in Alexandria as did Mr Brown I believe, so the story with Ministry of Supply link has been confirmed.  Years later in the late 1950s my aunt (grandads daughter) coincidentally bought number 84 on her return from Singapore. In the 1980s my dad bought the house from his sister and my family still own this house today . I remember well Mr Brown and his wife and the Duncan family who still live 2 doors away . I remember Alice Duncan as a very elderly lady . One of our other neighbours has lived in her house since she was a child in 1947 . My parents house still has some original features which makes me really happy . Thanks again.
