Hi Lynn,
Burnside Street used to run parallel to Grove Street.
See the map that someone posted in the first page of messages.
My GGGrandfather lived on Burnside St just before he married my GGGrandmother who lived on Grove St.

Thanks for the extra info too, am keen to have a look at it.

Regards
Julie

Hi Tatty5.

Just a thought - you may have already looked into this, but I was wondering - if you could manage to get hold of the census sheet for that street in 1871, this may tell you the names of the people living at number 36 in 1871. Its possible that your orphan was sent to them after her parents died.
Its a bit of a long shot as the people living there in 1871 may not be the same people living there is '75, but I guess if the names are familiar to you (eg an Uncle or Grandparent), it would probably be a safe bet.

Only thing is, that I haven't actually seen any Scottish census forms (I am getting my Scottish census info from a site which just shows the transcript, not the actual form), I know with the English Census forms, that they show details of the whole street (or as much of one that can fit on one form). Not sure if the Scottish census forms are the same.

I think you can get the actual Scottish Census details from ScotlandsPeople for a fee.

If you want, I can give you the details of my ancestors which lived at 35. This should allow you to look up the street form, and you can go from there.

Hi Tatty5.

Can't really help out with info, but just wanted to share.

I am researching a couple of ancestors which lived in that street also.
One relative and her husband (Ann and James Boyd) lived at 35 Grove Street. Both of them also died of tuberculosis. Ann died in 1875, and James in 1878.
So it would be highly likely that they knew each other (our ancestors that is).
Her brother (John McLeish) lived a couple of houses up at 29 Grove Street. He also died in 1878 of tuberculosis.

Sounds like there was a bit of it going around at the time.

I am also on the hunt for some photos or pictures. I would love to see what the area was like in those days

Regards.
JKH
