Glasgow addresses

[ziggie]

Thank you very much stripey.  I was looking for William Hunter and being given a second name is a bonus.  I will have to look at Joseph Fletcher to see if there is a connection.

ziggie,  the houses in Cardowan Road, Carntyne were built, I think, between the wars. They are semi's or four a block.
 Tenements were not only built for the working class, some are very posh indeed and the occupants had servants. The one I was born in (no servants) had two flats to a floor with a one roomed appartment in the middle, known as a "Single-End".

Hi Skoosh

Thank you  for the link to Tenements; I found it very interesting and also surprised at the different type of occupants of these buildings.

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?

The short answer is no. 

You need to go, or get someone to go, to the Mitchell Library in Glasgow. There are three possible sources

- street directories which list most businesses and some householders, but not all
- valuation rolls which list the names of the proprietor, tenant and occupier (householder) of every dwelling, but not the names of other people in the household
- electoral registers, which list all those eligible and registered to vote. By 1935 that means all those aged over 21 who had completed the annual forms. However they don't separate out different households in tenements which share the same street address.
