Thanks Davie.
I have received your email containing the pics. Really grateful to you for taking the time to take them for me.
To be honest though, it’s left me more confused and doubting whether this is the Mary Cosgrove I am looking for.
Although my Mary Cosgrove died 10 October, she died in 1903 and this does tally with the interment register I got for St Peter’s, Dalbeth.
I was unsure as to whether the gravestone gives the right death year of 1903 as in the picture appears to maybe be 1962?
Additionally, I have also not come across anything else in terms if document in which she has the F middle initial. But her maiden name was Fairly.
Furthermore, my Mary Cosgrove’s death certificate states that she died in 1903 aged 65. However, the age of Mary on the headstone is 70.
However, the same interment register lists a Patrick Cosgrove as being in the same plot (and this was the name of her husband). He died in 1914 which also correlated with the same interment records and with the same plot.
Mary died at ‘1 Pretoria Place, Cambuslang’, whilst her husband died at St Joseph’s Garngadhill a decade later but whose last known address is listed as ‘5 Pretoria Street, Cambuslang’ (presumably the same place)
On Scotlands people there’s a listing for a Mary Cosgrove, Cambuslang with the maiden name Quinn. Now, according to ancestry, her mother was a Mary Quinn of Ireland and father Philip Fairley. But I’ve not been able to find anything relating to these two.
So there are some aspects that make me believe it must be her but others where I am not so sure…
