St Francis Friary, Cumberland St Glasgow

[tony h]

Hi
I am interested to know about Franciscan priests at the St Francis Friary, Cumberland St, Glasgow. I know who was there in 1881 but would appreciate any help with 1871, 1891 and 1901.

If it helps the Guardians at those dates, and hence the head of the household, would be as follows

1871 - Emmanuel Kenners
1891 - Francis Verhagen
1901 - Cuthbert Wood

Any information would be gratefully appreciated i f somebody has access to census info.

Many thanks
Tony

Tried a search on Ancestry for each of the names but can only come up with 1881.

Hi daval57,
Thanks for the look much appreciated. Checked out your Tribal Pages site - fantastic, well organised and amazing photos, thanks for sharing.

Hi Annie, I did join a free offer with Ancestry before but never got any luck north of the border. I don't fancy another 72 hour marathon so as not to waste a single second I lied it was 71 hours, as I took an hour out for lunch

See you around

Tony

Thanks Tony,
Always nice to get appreciative comments.
Good luck with your search.
I googled the names too.  Got a few hits, some interesting reading but nothing that helps you re Glasgow.  There's one article about Gorton Monestary but being from Manchester I guess you know about that one.

Found 1871 census by searching for "Louis" Verhagen - the name as shown in 1881.
I'll drop you a PM in a while.  Still trying to find the other years.

I think I have 1891 too.
There are differences in the address in Cumberland Street but I think it is possible  that the records have been transcribed incorrectly.

Will keep looking and see whether I can get 1901.

Hi Dave
Thanks.
Louis was Francis's brother literally, not just religiously. I've got just about all there is about Emmanuel, Francis and Cuthbert at the Manchester end but seeing who is up there with them will possibly help me move forward.

cheers

Dave,
Absolutely outstanding
Dave's given me 1871, 1881, 1891 and it is fabulous research material, but has just added months more to my search

The transcriptions of names I know so well are appalling, but  i can see them anyway.

Poor old Paschal Sliney

Listed as Pascal Slimey 

Many of the Friars are Belgian who first learned English in Drogheda, Ireland. The Scottish enumerators must have been in despair

Going to take a while to sort out, but i'll re-post correct names here to leave a record for future searches.

Thanks ever so much Dave

And if anyone can help with 1901? well that would be just asking too much, or is it

Love Rootschatters to bits
