Lanarkshire / Re: Grove Street Glasgow 1875
« on: Saturday 18 February 12 08:30 GMT (UK) »
Dear JKH
Thanks for your note. I would also love to have pix of the street at that time. The interesting thing for me is that my family member was a young orphan when she died. Her mother had already died of tuberculosis some years earlier and her father, described when he married as a grocer, had disappeared with no record (although there were reports of a man with the same name having drowned in the Clyde at the 'right' time - but what are the chances that he is the same man?!). So the question for me was how my family member was surviving, who was she living with at the time since all other immediate family members were in South Lanarkshire. Maybe your ancestors were there for her! It would be nice to think so......
Best wishes
