If you are resident in Scotland you can register with the NLS which will give you access to licensed collections such as 19th century newspapers and several others.

Again thanks for the pointers. Trying to navigate my way around the site and digest as much as I can.

Going off on a tangent but I was talking to my friend who works for Glasgow City Council. He says the cemetery records are almost all in digital form and soon to be released.   :)

Many thanks. I'm just starting out myself and the online resources have truly amazed me. I've done not too bad from identifying the family tree from Scotlands people and I now wanted to build up the background on the movement of the families.

Read some articles last night on Jerome and Dales Photographers which were interesting. Might not be of use to present searcher but they helped me date a few photos based on the development of the postcard. I'll post link when I get home as might help others out.

No 3 55 Argyle Street doesn't appear in the 1927 directory or the 1943 one although it appears in the 1911/12 directory - the listing is simply F Burnett. Could this be the enigmatic Mr B ?

Sorry to hijack the topic but where is the 1911/12 directory that you speak of? Is it online. I'm researching my own tree and some of the family were split up in 1911. They are listed in premises as "inmates". Would this be a lodging house or workhouse? It's very strange as they were in the house in 1901 census and died at that address after 1911. However in between that time they are listed at these other address. I've got addresses and if I can check them that would be fantastic. Thanks.

1. Operated 1904-1908
2. Not sure about the 2nd one but I've just been researching that address and Robert Smith Photographer operated out of 569 Argyle Street from 1911 to 1914+. That may mean Electric Studios were slightly later given your date?
3. Not sure.

Try the excellent site below. Have a trawl through it and it may show up the addresses for the 3rd one and thus give you approximate dates.

Just starting out my own family tree so glad to see someone with the same challenges. I'll be posting lots of requests myself soon ;)
