Finneston Lanark?

Twitter, to resolve this I think you will have to look at the original census images on SP to claify name and place of birth.

I have SP census for 41, 51 and 71 but not 61. They are on line with SP so I have to keep flipping around to see them. Will take hard copies later this PM and see if anything new turns up but from a quick look see it appears to be what I sent you . Davidson? Sinclair was a spirit dealer in "41" prior to his marriage. Maybe he spent too much time testing the quality of his stock?

Twitter,

West Quarter is a small village in the parish of Glassford.
There used to be (could still be) a building, probably a small tenement of 4 or 6 flats, that went by the name of Pinkerton Buildings. I wonder if Finnieston is a badly-written Pinkeston?

Twitter,
Your William Sinclair was murdered at West Quarter in 1841.

Go to the National Archives of Scotland website and enter Sinclair Glassford.

Well done lodger
I would never have thought to go there. I have taken copies. Is he buried in Glassford "maybe"? By 1841 they had seven kids and lived on Millar street. Would trial documents reveal any background details that might be useful ie any involvement by my James Sinclair or relatives. Just a hunch
