Suicide - James Inglis 1885 *COMPLETED*

[sage]

I too have a query regarding a suicide that took place at Johnston's Land Cambusnethan 17 July 1885 of James Inglis (Master Shoemaker). He was aged 66.

I wonder if it would have been reported in the Glasgow papers or if I'd need to access the 'Wishaw Press' via Motherwell Heritage Centre. Would appreciate some insight.

With thanks, Sage.

Sorry there doesn't appear to be anything listed in the Gales collection of 19th century newspapers (including the Glasgow Herald) 

Checking the Wishaw Press may yield better results

How about trying the National Archives Sage.     http://www.nas.gov.uk/onlineCatalogue/

Sage, from here www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,510660.msg3669210.html#msg3669210 - see the link for the Glasgow Herald which you can search on line directly. The Evening Times is not until the 20thC.

Thanks everyone...with a bit of luck I'll get a chance to spend a day at Motherwell Heritage Centre in June.  I'll put this look-up on my list of priorities!

Thanks again,

Sage.

Sage, the Hamilton Library has the "Hamilton Advertiser" if Motherwell is unsuccessful.
