My Uncle and Aunt born Drapers Buildings 1910 and 1913.  Quick google search shows someone living at number 93 so quite big.

Will take a look at the maps now.

Thank you all.

Thank you everyone for your help.

In the wee small hours this morning I found something else.

An Alexander T Brown (AC2 RAF) lived at 25 West Princes Street in 1935 according to an electoral register.

My Aunt Helen Muirhead Montgomery was given £500 by her mother for the birth of her baby.  (As stated in Grandmothers will)  Helen moved to Airlie Gardens Glasgow and on 29th August 1936 gave birth at 25  West Princes Street to a girl, Mary Crombie Alexander Montgomery who was adopted at birth.

Do you think there are clues in the name?

Mary (Grandmother)
Crombie (Baby's father?)
Alexander (Adopted fathers name?)

Helen returned to the family home in Falkirk, never had anymore children, trained to be a nurse in the 1940's and died aged 50.

Intriguing?

In 1936 my Aunt gave birth to a baby at 25 West Princes Street, Glasgow.  The baby was adopted at birth.  I cannot find any real history about the address.  Would anyone know if this was a mother and baby home or hospital of some kind?  It was not her home address.

Any information or ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hi

Can anyone help me please.

 On census forms why do some of the records say "this record is officially closed"? 

On the 1939 census there are 2 members of my family blacked out like this.

Any suggestions?

Regards

Heather

Hi

Thanks for the quick reply, much appreciated.

We think he may have had a paupers funeral.

Great idea to get in touch with Falkirk.gov.uk why didn't I think of that........................!!  I hope they are not waiting for a long lost relative to get in touch and pay the bill.  :o  If it is true it makes me quite sad that there was no one there for him.

Kind regards

Heather
