If you knew who performed the baptism and/or associated church it would help narrow down the hospital location.

Westminster London. I can’t make out the name of who did the baptism though. Looks like G hap(il)? The other person on the page was C Knight

After looking at the other abodes listed I believe this may have been in London. Which would make sense as her parents were married in London though the rest of the family was to be living in Scotland. So either left behind or maybe hadn’t move yet idk. Gonna have to keep digging and make these dates make sense

Begins with "G"? Possibly Glenwood???

I think you’re correct on the G at least, another anode elsewhere on the page is clearly “Glasgow”

Place of abode on a baptism sheet. Age is 21. It looks like “____ hospital” to me. I believe she was living at a mental asylum/poor house later in life so hospital wouldn’t be out of the question. This is 1900. I believe she was in an asylum around 1918-1921. Prestwich Asylum in Manchester which I believe also operated as a poor house so not sure which “side” of that she was on.

Scotland / Sarah “Liddel” or Liddell
« on: Tuesday 04 November 25 22:10 GMT (UK)  »
Hello, been digging into the McKenzie line of my tree and I’ve recently stumbled upon an article regarding one of my ancestors. My 4x great grandmother was assaulted by a “Sarah Liddel or McKenzie”. The reason this is significant is she married a McKenzie, and as I thought I had completed this branch of the tree, I’m obviously missing somebody. I haven’t looked much into the nieces and nephews, and I doubt they would have been the one assaulting an aunt in law, so my first assumption is there must be a brother from this generation I’m unaware of.

(Mary) Harriett Tennant or McKenzie married Isaac McKenzie, tinsmith 1855. I have all of their info. I have the siblings and their children…etc. What I don’t have is a Sarah Liddel. I do have based on evidence the existence of a George from this generation, who would be brothers with Isaac, but no hard proof like a birth or death certificate or anything like that. So I’m assuming George married Sarah? Can’t find anything though. Can’t find anything at all on Sarah Liddel. “Liddell” gives me some hits, but no McKenzie connection that I can find. Can anyone help me find Sarah Liddel and potentially uncover a new ancestor for me? Thank you!!

The Old Rose Garden Lair Records are held by Glasgow City Archives at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow
(around 1882 Glasgow Council, in widening Rutherglen Road gained control of the Burial ground and many of the deceased were re interred in the Southern Necropolis)

see https://newcleckitdominie.wordpress.com/2022/12/24/the-gorbals-burying-ground/  for more information on the Burial ground

Very interesting read thank you! It seems all (or an attempt at most) of the bodies were reinterred at the southern necropolis. Perhaps unmarked for many. I guess even if I can’t find a record, they’re probably at the southern necropolis now.

It may not be a straightforward search!

Thank you! I was able to find the record for one of the others on the death certificate (there are 3 as you probably know). However I couldn’t find my ancestor. Upon closer inspection there is a distinction - this person has “Southern Necropolis”, mine specifically has “Gorbals Cemetery”. I thought these were the same thing. Do you know where to access the Gorbals Cemetery records specifically? For context this record is from April of 1859.

How old?

1850’s - 1900 I have quite a few. I know one was buried there for sure it’s listed on their death cert, the others died in Gorbals so I’m assuming they were buried there as well. Would like to look up records online if possible

Hi I’m wondering who to contact to retrieve old burial records for Glasgow? Specifically the Southern Necropolis in Gorbals. Thanks!
