Barnhill Poorhouse Records lookup for John Dowd/Dowds

[Skoosh]

In 1893 Glasgow became the County of the City of Glasgow and parted company with Lanarkshire  Their courts were in Lanarkshire House in Ingram Street, now a fancy pub.
 I used to work with a Garngad Dowd many years ago.

Yes, I'm sure the Mitchell would be more than happy to take more of my money! I shudder to think how much I've given ScotlandsPeople over the years already!

I think we are all the same I have spent quite a bit in the last week would have been cheaper going to the Mitchell Library  ....Such a pity I was there a few weeks ago checking out the poor relief records ..

Hi to all who have replied to me and thank you.

Interesting about Glasgow and Lanarkshire boundaries.

I'm sure I'm probably related to many - if not most - of the Garngad Dowds.

This Dowd was a coachbuilder in the railway workshops, along with half the Garngad!  ;
 Must ask if he's still aboot?

I somehow thought it would just be a matter of time before they closed their doors Davie it's getting pretty desperate now ..Stay safe everyone
