Orphan mystery, please help!!!

Do you think this is the same Rose from the 1915 Valuation Roles? Her address in 1901 is 134 Stobcross Street, Anderston, Glasgow

I think looking for a marriage would be good or even her mother's death as she may have been the informant if you can't find a marriage.

Would be interesting to know where the name David derived from, not what I would say to be a common Irish name

That could be the same woman  Certainly Stobcross Street and Richard Street are in the same area.

I will PM you with some details as we are not supposed to post info from 1911 Census on the site.

Posted all this on the other board....

William Houghton married Rose Ann Hannah on the 31/12/1895, St Saviours, Glasgow...he was a driver in the R.A. Her parents were George and Catherine Hannah nee Kerr.

Catherine Kerr Houghton, b 1/7/1900, 8 Ferguson Street, Glasgow, Parents William Houghton, driver R.A and Rose Ann Houghton nee Hannah is in the Army Regimental Indices for 1900 father in R.A.  I can't find a William Jr there.

Hope this is of some help.

ADDED - Forgot to say William was aged 22 and Rose 17 at the time of the 1895 wedding.

Births David McManus/MacManus

1904 – 1906  =  best area Glasgow or maybe Lanark if she went out of town 

13 Glasgow City
21 Lanark
1 Dunbarton
2 Renfrew
1 Ayr


Rest would probably be too remote

I'm keeping note of all this because I've run out of credits for SP and won't have money for a few days!! I'll check it all out then

Please bear in mind that the McManus family with Rose McManus could be a wild goose chase.
The Rose McManus of Stobcross Street may not be the Rose A McManus of 104 Richard Street who in turn may not be the Rose Ann Hannah of the Industrial School record.

I find it odd Kit that in 1908 David Hanna was admitted to an orphanage after being found wandering the streets and with parents unknown , but they manage to give him the same surname as a woman who contacts the Industrial School 10 years later.
Do you know what form of correspondence there was in 1918 from Rose Ann Hannah ? Was there a letter? Or is it just that David's mother's name and address is added to his notes at that time?

My very thoughts too Looby. Yes at 3 he would know his name but surname I'm not so sure?
How did they know where he was born 

It leaves a bit of a whole in the story but I'm still surprised that a boy found wandering the streets was not in the papers to entice reuniting him with his mother  ..........not quite the same as a "Foundling" is it
