Glasgow addresses
« on: Wednesday 01 September 10 19:03 BST (UK) »
I am looking for the names of the occupants of two addresses in Glasgow for 1935 - 238 Cardowan Road, Carntyne, and 84 Hathaway Street.  Are there any electoral registers/street directories available on line?

Thank you gordon5, it's a start.  I don't live local so am unable to get there - I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope some kind person will look up for me.

Hi Ziggie

You could email the Mitchell Library in Glasgow, I've always found the staff there very helpful, below is a link to the website
