Peter Somers

[gerry4]

Peter, the celtic player was a member of my family from his mothers side Mary Ann Twiss.

I am trying to find out about his later days. According to the Scotsman he died in a Nursing home and not in hostel and Wikiceltic said. Also the paper said that he was a director of Hamilton Accies.

I have found out that he had a dispute with parents Trustees but i don't know of the outcome. At that time he was described as a Wine & Spirits Merchant. His Uncles was also one in Edinburgh and i wonder if there was a connection.

Can anyone help.

Thanks

When and where did he die?

Did he leave a will?

[gerry4]

He died 27 Nov 1914 in Glasgow. Not sure about a will

Found his death notice in the Glasgow Herald

Age 36, buried in The West cemetery in Hamilton and with an impressive headstone

Is it online so that I can access it?

I think the RCE posted on Celticwiki is for someone else but it's not very clear

HI Gerry,

Have a look here http://celticgraves.com/topic/8351776/1/
Its a site dedicated to locating the graves of all Celtic players. Quite an interesting thread about Peter with his death record entry, RCE. Marriage entry and a couple of photo's of his headstone.
