« on: Thursday 13 April 06 13:22 BST (UK) »
My GGGranda Charles Gallacher was allegedly murdered in Neilston in 1885 (Date of Death 5/7/1885 - Western Infirmary, Glasgow).

Does anybody know of any sources where i can corroborate this story.

Have you tried the Barrhead and Neilston Heritage site at
http://www.barrhead-scotland.com/Culture/history/index.asp


although having had a look through there is nothing listed ... perhaps if you contact them they may be able to help.

Thanks for pointing that out to me. I just assumed before it was some random text.
Would this be held at Register House?

Yes you have to go in person or have somebody search on your behalf.
It is a fiche which may contain extra details.However I have looked at the Death records for somebody I know was murdered & it gave no more details than the causes & place & estimated date of Death.
I may go to NRH at the end of May(depends when a new member of the family is born!)& if you want I would have a look for you.It is all dependant on the newest member of the family so it may be Aug before I go.

Joette,

Thanks for the offer. I would like to go through to Register House but I've got no holidays left to take this year (and we're only in May!).

Good luck with the family!

I'm not related but have downloaded the death entry and the RCE.

Please pm me if you require them.

death is given after a preamble as "caused by blood poisoning owing to wound in leg caused by misadventure, 16 days".

Regards,  Steve :O)
