Lanarkshire / Re: How do I find news of Clyde drowning 1890?

Hi loulou2, seekthem. Thank you both for your replies!

I haven't done anything about genealogy for a while, but you may have kickstarted me back into it.

Louise, seems like we're related! I'm in Paisley, where much of the family settled. Whereabouts are you? I've not come across a Birmingham relative yet, but there are so many of them! All these large families ...

Best wishes

Hi Tom,

Thanks for trying. I suspect he may have been a bit of a nomad when he went in the river, he hadn't been seen for a few months so it could be the paper didn't bother to report it, or that they did but it was just an anonymous man.

Thanks for taking the time to look anyway.

Abi

Lanarkshire / How do I find news of Clyde drowning 1890?

I have traced the entry in the registers of death for my great-great-grandfather. He was called Constantine Kelly and died in June 1890. His body was found floating in the river Clyde, North Side, near River St. His usual address is listed as Hamilton, although I suspect he hadn't been living at home for some time.

How can I find any newspaper report or other comment on this? I would be fascinated to learn any more about the incident.

Thank you!
