Barnhill Poorhouse Applications

[RJ_Paton]

Just to add to Monica's advice .... in the 1891/92 and 1901/02 Directories the Poorhouse address is listed as Barony Poorhouse, Barnhill.

Falkryn, your info fits well with this reference from here www.rootschat.com/links/0rbv/

....the adjacent Barony Parish Poorhouse (which became Barnhill Poorhouse in 1898, when the City and Barony parishes were amalgamated in the Parish of Glasgow)...

Monica,
              Are you saying you actually managed to bring up a Census for Barnhill in 1901 with all the in-mates on it?       

[MonicaL]

Hi Brian

Yes, the 1901 census for Barnhill is showing with the details I gave earlier. There are 1377 inmates showing there in 1901 on the transcript I am looking at.

Monica

...Not sure how FindMyPast works but I seached on A/try as:

Lanarkshire, Glasgow Springburn
Relationship to head: Inmate

This brings up the poorhouse at:
Address: Barnhill, Glasgow, Glasgow Springburn
Reg District: Dennistoun

Hi folk,

All very interresting.

I will try and get some info. through the emails listed etc.

Half of my ancestors seem to have ended up in the Barnhill Poorhouse which is rather sad.

My GGGrandfather James Macindoe died there in 1869 and I had a couple of Archibald McIndoe's die there as well.

If anyone comes across any info. about these or any other McIndoe's at Barnhill I would be most appreciative.

thanks again for all this info.

kind regards

Hi, This is my first time on any forum so totally learning as I go, please forgive any mistakes I may make. I am searching for my family in Scotland for my Mum who has just turned 80. Her father James Baillie was farmed out with his sister ( Jessie) who was 4 years older than him to a farm/croft in Roybridge. We thought they may be orphans and because of this my Mum never knew her father's parents. I have found his Birth certificate on Scottish friends and he was illegitimate and his Mother's name was Mary Baillie. I also found his sister's BC, same name and occupation and address so that's my grandfather which was good sort of...he was born in the Barnhill poorhouse( his sister wasn't) I would like some help to access his record...long shot I know. He was born in 1908. I live in Australia, my folks came here when I was 3 so really want to do this for my Mum. Any help would be great. Many thanks Myra

When and where was his sister born?

Hi,  His sister Jessie Baillie was born in Glasgow in 1904. They were both boarded out to work on a farm as children, we think to Roy Bridge ( her brother James married there) so had some ties to Roy Bridge. On Scottish people today discovered a Jessie Baillie living with a family in Fort Augustus ( Kennedy family) she is not a relative but is 6 years old so the right age as it is the 1911 census. She has what appears to be Br beside her name. This area had an Abbey run by Benedictine monks and funnily enough Jessie joined Stanbrook Abbey ( England) as a nun and died there. She was a Benedictine nun...interesting. My sister and I are going to see Mum tomorrow and it will be emotional I think. At 80 to hear about your Grandmother and what was very hard times in Glasgow then... but it is our history. Any help in my search appreciated. Myra
