That's great Ambly  So, possibly a death for Thomas Daniel Snr between 1861-71. I'll see if anything shows on SP...

Thomas Daniel Disher died in 1867 in Calton, Glasgow with a birth year of 1830. Has to be the correct entry, specially with the use of the middle name.

Oh, Ambly, I've just gone back and read that newspaper link you put up regarding James Disher's death....poor man....poor family

I know, isn't is so sad!     What a thing to happen - imagine the horror for his poor Aggie.
I just got back too - waking children 

I've found Andrew DISHER, James brother, and he's  in Northumberland in 1901 I think.....his age is a bit out but I think it's him; naming pattern of his 1st son, 2nd daughter fits his parents as being Thomas and Mary:

1891: 13 Newton St Private House - Partick, Glasgow, Lanarkshire
Parish: 646/3, ED 1 , pg 31, HS 138
Head: Andrew DISHER 52 **,Iron Driller, b Glasgow (**as transcribed - probably a mis-read of 30-something)
Wife: Helen DISHER 27, b Kingstown, Morayshire
Dau: Jeanie DISHER 2, b England

1901: 19 Coventry Street - Byker, Newcastle on Tyne, Northumberland
RG13 /  Piece: 4792 /  Folio: 26 /  Page: 44
Head: Andrew DISHER 47, Driller Boiler [worker], b Scotland
Wife: Helen 38,  b Scotland
Dau: Jane J 13,  b Scotland
Son: Tom 10,  b Scotland
Dau: Mary 5,  b Scotland
Dau: Jessie 3,  b Scotland
Uncle: John Alexander (John A) ADAMS 14, H?eater, Shipyd, b Scotland
Boarder: Thomas HALL 56, mar, Coal Hewer at mines, b NK England
Boarder: Mary J HALL 44, marr, b NK England

The "Uncle" is clearly stated as age 14 - and there is a notation next to his name "W.J.W.W." - no idea what that means - it's not written by the enumerator, possibly by his supervisor, and maybe it's some kind of statistical code. I wonder if John was the Nephew and Andrew was the Uncle (or Uncle in law).

Tree on A**
Andrew DISHER married Helen GEDDES  - 2 Feb 1888, Glasgow
Son: Tom DISHER born 10 Jul 1892 in Partick Lanarkshire (Glasgow), died 1930 Dennistoun Lanarkshire
        married 1917 in Alloa, Calckmannanshire to: Annie Smith GOLDIE b Larkhall, Lanarkshire,  died 1971 Alloa
        3 children, 1917, 1919, 1921 (won't name for privacy)

Hmmm - have a read of this:
http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/th/read/SCT-FIFE/1999-01/0917214806

says in part about Thomas Daniel DISHER snr:
Thomas  was a Surgeon-Accoucheur - which we suppose to be some kind of gynaecologist.
The Glasgow Property Register for, I think, 1860, shows him as having a
shop/consulting room and a house, but I have no note of the address. The
Property Register is available at the Mitchell Library - Family
History/Local History Floor - in Glasgow, which is a fantastic family
history resource. I do not know whether it is on line.

That's an interesting link Ambly 

Also, from your post before that, there is at least some Disher connections with Northumberland. Just thinking of Chris' comment:

Although my Grandmother (Elizabeth) said that she was born in Gateshead that her mother was visiting her father who was working at Gateshead

Can't link that up to fact as yet but at least there were some Disher family members in the right part of the country!

Chris, don't suppose you have been able to verify your Grandmother Elizabeth's birth place from any document?
