Glasgow Poorhouse lookup please - Montgomery
« on: Wednesday 02 March 11 21:28 GMT (UK) »
Marion Park Montgomery's death record says d. Mar 5, 1879 in City Poorhouse, St. Rollox district, Glasgow, Lanarkshire.

Marion was b. Sep 26, 1823 in Rutherglen, Lanarkshire, but she got progressively younger in the censuses.

She was admitted to the poorhouse somewhere between May 1863 - Mar 1879.

In 1863 she's the informant for her father's (Robert Montgomery) death, their address was  49 French Street, Bridgeton, Glasgow.
I can't find her in the 1871 census.

I'm hoping the poorhouse records might give me clues about her fatherless son, Robert Walker born about 1849. The last I have of him is the 1861 census where he's 11.

Thanks,
Dena

Well I never got her poor house records. But I eventually found her son's 1871 death record, 21 and single, listed as illegitimate, but information supplied by his father, Peter Walker.
So, I think that's the end of that line.
