ADVICE re GORBALS RESIDENTS

[Pricey4848]

Is there any way I can find out who was living at 317 Thistle Street Gorbals after 1911.


Im looking for the HERON family.


Thanks

Hi Pricey

It is a bit of a scramble after 1911, most of it not available online unfortunately.

Some sources and ideas:

Valuation Rolls - with the exception of a few years, you would need to search this at a local reference library. Scotlands People www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk have recently added the 1915 database online and are looking to extend this over time. You can search the 1913/4 one here www.theglasgowstory.com/valindex.php

Online Post Office Directories for the Glasgow area stop around 1911/2 - www.nls.uk/family-history/directories/post-office/index.cfm?place=Glasgow  The only exception for online info is the 1927 Glasgow Directory here http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~glasgow/index-glas.htm

Have you followed through the Heron family, through their life events (births, marriages and deaths)? This often gives you the main clues as to where families were living.
