Does anyone know where Cawder is/was?

...and to further make up for my slip up.......this is Alexander's death:

1907   CAMPBELL   ALEXANDER   73   CADDER (WESTERN)   /LANARK   626/A1 0018

The clues were all there    Given the inaccuracies that creep in on the reporting of events, why should newspapers be any different  There is a reference to the Register of Corrected Entries for his death, maybe that will provide some more info.

Thats OK ,Monica.
I really appreciate your help!  I've never heard of the 'register of corrected entries". I've so much to learn!  Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

I wondered if it could be the Cawdor of  Shakespeare' s  Macbeth ( Thane of Cawdor) so I looked it up and that Cawdor is about  10 miles east of Inverness.
 Probably no connection, but interesting I thought

Cawdor is near to Inverness but the Cawder that you are looking for was an estate at Bisopbriggs now I think developed
it was part of Keir & Cawder estates owned by the Stirling
family at one time one of the largest land owners in Scotland
The company still trades  as Keir & Cawder estates ltd.
although they no longer own any land at Bishopbriggs.

Hi Atherleigh,

For some background knowledge, you'll find several topics about the RCE under Deaths in Scotland in the
RootsChat Reference Library => Lexicon ^{(click here)}

Pity there's no Macbeth connection

Thanksjean and Falkrynn,

Yes it has me puzzled also. Alexander Campbell , lithographer of  the firm Campbell and Tudhope in Glasgow , was born in Cadder and lived in Lanarkshire all his life at a place called Annfield near Bishopbriggs and yet in  the 1901  census he and his wife Maggie were boarders at 28 Battery Place, Rothesay. He was 67 in the 1901 census.  Its definitely him.
Anyway, I got his place of death  and his age(70) from a little undated newspaper cutting that my great grandmother kept. I've searched Scotland'sPeople,printed out several Alexander Campbells aged 70 between 1902-1908 and so far its cost me a small fortune and I still haven't found 'my' Alexander.  His mother's maiden name was McKean and his wife was Maggie Murdoch. The IGI hasn't been any help either.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd be so grateful!

Items of Campbell & Tudhope still exist. go to: http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertpool/sets/72157623175622707/detail/
