Lanarkshire / Re: Old Glasgow streets
« on: Tuesday 04 December 18 11:14 GMT (UK) »Hi Trish, It's been awhile since you posted you initial post and I was intrigued that your post had the street address of where my grandfather was born in 1917 at 20 Thornhill Street, Glasgow. Would you know if this address was a hospital or a house? Looking forward to hearing your reply. Kind regards Jessie Lou
Welcome to Rootschat ... as Cammy says that address in Thornhill Street was a tenement building (apartment block) - in any case hospital births at that time were a rarity with the most common place of birth being either at the mothers home address or at her parents.
Belated thanks Falkyrn and Cammy, I’m pretty sure it was my grandfathers grandparents residence. This search is a challenge especially when I’m on the other side of the world 😞
