Alice Lee Place, Glasgow Road, Wishaw

[Lodger]

I'd like to go back to my theory about the names on the Roll of Honour.

It appears to be in some instances that when 2 or more people from one address are listed, then the address was sometimes shortened, almost a lazy way of doing it.
For example, two Ramage men are mentioned. The first is listed as living at Brownlee, 100 Belhaven Terrace.
The entry below just gives the address as 100 Belhaven Terrace.
Another example is  two Riddell men, first entry is Auchendarroch, Belhaven Terrace, Wishaw.
Next entry is Auchendarroch, Wishaw.
I noticed several entries done this way. Could this be the same for the Anderson entries?

ANDERSON WALTER (killed in action) 25 Glasgow Road Wishaw. Royal Scots reg; married.
next entry -
ANDERSON JAMES Alice-Lea, Glasgow Road Wishaw, H.L.I. reg; unmarried.

Lodger, Wow thanks for all that information. Ive discovered Walter had a son called james born 1887 so could it be him maybe. Ive joined Scottishpeople to will do some searching there.

Very interesting about the toffee factory.

Again, thanks everyone for your help. Hebe

Lodger,

Obviously you have more knowledge of the area concerned & more in-depth info. but.....

I will insert my answers in blue

"first of all, I have very seldom found that a widow here in the Wishaw area and in Lanarkshire in general, ever reverted to her maiden surname.

Not found on census after being widowed. Some women did revert to their maiden name but I'm not an authority on who/where/when, it was a possibility to explore.

Also, if I were you Hebe, I would disregard all entries regarding Alice-Lea in Motherwell, Overtown or anyplace else other than Wishaw.

The above I posted was to show they were in fact different places.

If I were you, I would stay focused on "Glasgow Road, Wishaw". forget Cambusnethan, that, in this case, is only the name of the civil parish, not the area of Wishaw that contains Glasgow Road"

The VRs gave Alice Lee Place as Cambusnethan...Alice Lee Place being the address on marriage.

I can only go by what I find in genuine records while trying my best to help.

The only other mentions that I could find for Alice-Lea were three entries for the name Robertson, probably three brothers, George, John & Robert, Alice-Lea, Glasgow Road.

Could this be them?
