14 Inchgreen Street in Greenock 1902 - 1915?

[alistairgiffin]

My Margaret (jean) Wilson doesnt turn up in Inchgreen Street until she is married. She was born in northern Ireland in 1920. Her parents were Archibald Wilson (b. 1889 port glasgow) and Dora (m.s. Boyle).
The family moved back and forth (assume Dora was from NI) but they had another daughter while in Greenock called Margaret (Jane) Wilson after 1920 and stayed in Port Glasgow.

Hi dreamingwombat,
Dora Boyle/Wilson was a cousin of my grandmother. Her parents were Richard Boyle & Margaret Jane Boyle nee Boyle. The last record I can find of them in Ireland is Dora Wilson registered the death of her mother in 1930 at Limnaharry near Ahoghill Co. Antrim. Many of the Boyle family moved from there in Ireland to Greenock/Port Glasgow and quite a few lived in Inchgreen Street (mainly No. 3 but also 6,7,8,14,16). I have most of them researched but would like to compare notes.

Hi Cranston,
I am attaching a couple of outline maps of the shipyards and on one it shows Inchgreen Street. This street formed the Western boundary of Lithgows Kingston Yard. It also extended across Port Glasgow road and this was the part of the street that had tenement buildings where your great uncle would have stayed. Port Glasgow road was the main thoroughfare and at the port Glasgow boundary the name changed to Ardgown Street. I am not a member of Roots so they will not allow me to reply to a PM
