Hi, can anyone read the address where Bridget Devlin died?
Appreciate your help.

Could it be 7 Drummers Cott  Greenock?
I would have taken Cott to be an abbreviation of Cottages

just had another look, and it could also be Drummers Close.
Hopefully someone else knows a bit about the addresses in the area

yes I thought drummers close....but cant find any record of that street!!

Just googled, and there was a Drummers Close in Greenock.  I just put in Drummers Close Greenock and up it came.     Problem is it's on someone's genealogy site that immediately starts playing would be Scots muzac, so turn your sound control down first!   Hope that helps

I was just about to post 7 Drummers Close Greenock too.

One site mentions it thus:
"a narrow lane, afterwards called  " Drummer’s Close".

Ruskie, that's brilliant - such a good photo, completely evocative.  Wonderful site, I'm going to have a browse through
Janet, bet you weren't expecting a photo as well!

Thank you so much!!!  I have been too busy looking at maps!!....what an idiot I am!!
Brilliant photo.........thanks again

You're welcome Janet. The photo says it was taken from Dalrymple Street. If you look at Dalrymple Street Greencock on google maps, you will see that the whole area is newish builds or car parks, so I imagine Drummer's Close would be long gone.
