Death in Govan 1849

[donkeykong]

I am trying to find info on George Rankine who died in Govan on 29 Dec. 1849. Would there be an obituary in a Newspaper as it was advertised in the Falkirk Heraldbut trying to find his grave as it may be in Govan

Hi 

Glasgow Herald might have something http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=GGgVawPscysC

Are you expecting to find an obituary? Most people didn't really. At best for many, you may find a death notice simply.

Added: Online issues for December 1849 look very patchy unfortunately  Maybe try going in to first few days of January 1850 too.

With Harrywrag's detail on George Rankine's occuapation etc...

Just wondering if you have seen the entries on http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for his last will & testaments - there are two entries, TRUST DISPOSITION - 5 pages and CORRECTED INVENTORY - 3 pages.

Cannot find his death or burial records anywhere all there has been is what is in the papers.
