Lanarkshire / Re: Cemetery in Glasgow (Argyle Street area)
« on: Tuesday 28 October 14 10:16 GMT (UK)  »
John Cameron and his wife were my grandparents, which means that your grandmother, whose name begins with M, is my aunt.  My mother is  your great-aunt, and still lives in Glasgow.  Your mother is one of two sisters who are both my cousins (obviously!!)
I have many fond memories of my grandfather, but my gran died while I was young.  They lived in a tenement building at 838 Argyle Street, which is near Elderslie Street, on the middle floor of three. Your grandmother often looked after me when I was a young child.  Before she married your grandfather she used to lodge in a house in Exeter Drive in Glasgow with a Mrs Johnstone.  I always remember that she  had the tiniest feet, and took a size 3 in uk sizes.  She was very dainty.  Her eldest sister was called  Anna, and lived in the US, another sister Rena and my mum.  Brothers Jim, Ewan and Dougie.  Only my mum and your gran still alive.

Their address was 838 Argyle Street. I have no idea "where" on Argyle Street that is.

Is there a website where one can do a general search of the content in the newspapers, instead of having to read the entire pages of death notices in every newspaper? I don't know what paper that's most likely to have their deaths listed. I'm guessing there was more than one newspaper in Glasgow in the 1950's?

If anyone is more experiences with these searches than me:

Margaret Leishman Adam - died 20 December 1952, Glasgow Western Infirmary.

John Cameron - died 18 December 1960, Glasgow Western Infirmary.
