Glasgow City Poorhouse records

[Forfarian]

I am trying to find out info. re. the death of Hope Ruth Routledge in the City Poorhouse.She was six months old when she died there in July 1891.
Is there anyway to know if she had been abandoned,or whether the rest of her family were also"inmates" at the time. Her mother was named Margaret, father John and sister Elizabeth Louise aged five.

Contact the Mitchell Library and ask them if they have any record of her in the Parochial Board archives. See

Regarding Margaret McLean RoutLedge Williamson, that was my great grandmother.  When she married Andrew, she was a widow, but on her marriage certificate she said spinster.  Her son John, which says illegitimate on Birth certificate born after John died.  Maggie’s ancestors came from Cawdor.  I have all the info about them all.  I am interested in finding out about my grandad, Andrew, her son as I don’t have much info about him.  He left my mum and gran when my mum was around 3 or 4.  Can’t seem to find anything on him,  any info would help.  Thanks.  Morag.

Did Margaret McLean RoutLedge Williamson have more than one child with John RoutLedge.  I only have John McLean born 1893.  I also have the 1891 census for her as well.

Thanks

Maggie McLean was my great grandmother and I can give you all the information after she remarried again in 1895.

What information do you have on your Grandad, Andrew?

[Campbellmorag]

Are you talking about my great grandad who married Maggie or his son.  I have everything on both, Andrews,  my grandad left my mum and gran around around 1935, I think.  I believe he used to work in England, but would like to know anything about him, even if it is a death certificate, then I can research from there.  I’m thinking he’s had another family somewhere, but they never divorced, so I reckon I’m in for a few surprises.

Maggie died in 1915 and had 3 children to Andrew who died in 1942 from a head injury.  If you have any more questions about him or his children, who also have a colourful life, just let me know.  If you have anything on Andrew, son, would appreciate it, thanks.

Bye for now.
