There was another Thistle Street in Garnethill just North of the current City Centre which was renamed to Garnet Street in the 1920's - much of this street was demolished in the 1960's to make way for the M8. The "other" Thistle Street was in the Gorbals and became known as Thistle Street, South until the name re organisation. (The duplication came about as Glasgow expanded its boundaries and annexed previously independent burghs

I work in the city centre so if you give me the address in Mitchell Street I'll take a photo of the building if it is still there.

The address is 35 Mitchell Street and it's where a John Lynch lived in 1907. He married my grandfathers sister Jane Bradley who lived at 7 Ravel Row. I was looking at the 1901 census to see if I could find them but of course there were loads of matches :P

Thank you everyone for your help.

You can search the Valuation Rolls 1913/14 and Ward Maps of Glasgow here:-

Your family might still be at the same addresses.
