Hello I am descended from the Slater family who lived in Port Glasgow. I am fascinated about one relative who sadly was discovered drowned in the Clyde in 1873 near West Quay. She I believe worked at Gourocks Ropeworks and lived in Gillespies Lane. Does anyone have any old photos of Gillespies Lane. I also cannot find the death of her father Alexander Slater who worked for HM Customs. He was born in 1788 in Kilmalcolm and is not present on the 1841 census for Port Glasgow when his wife and children are. I am quite taken with Port Glasgow and long to visit. Would be good to hear from anyone else with information about the ropeworks or the customs job done by my GGGGG - Grandfather.
