Margaret Reid Hawker married to William Reid Labourer died 1902 June twenty first
Usual residence 45 Marlon Street? Greenock

now think it is Moncur Street. I think I've found my Margaret McLean nee Dunning living at 20 Moncur Street which I think may be the address on the death certificate. It states it's a corporation lodging house. She was living at 163 Moncur Street several years previously.

It looks as though there's been an error as Moncur Street is listed in Glasgow rather than Greenock?

From the info. you provided the only info. closest to the date of "Margaret Reid Hawker married to William Reid Labourer died 1902 June twenty first" ...

   
MODEL LODGING 20 MONCUR STREET GLASGOW - 1905 - VR010200573-

WALKER AGNES M, Inhabitant Occupier, HOUSE 20 MONCUR STREET GLASGOW 1905 - VR010200573-

It seems rather odd there's only 1 person named for such a large building  ???

The Valuation Rolls list only the name of the householder, not of any other people who may be living there. This is because it was compiled for the purpose of assessing how much was due to be paid as rates (local tax) and the assessors were only interested in recording the name of the one person who was responsible for paying the rates for the premises.




Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Apologies as it appears I have confused everyone even more than I am myself.
I've got a bit mixed up with my 2 Margaret Dunnings. One was married to William Reid and died 21st June 1902 at Greenock Poorhouse, Smithston, Gourock. Usual residence 45 Marlon Street or at least that is what it looks like.
The other was married to Hugh McLean and died on the 14th June 1915 in Marnhull  Poorhouse, Glasgow. Residence lodging house 20 Moncur Street.
I'm afraid I got my wires crossed and believed Moncur Street was the correct transcription for Marlon Street but they are different streets and that address is still not clear.

Thought you had got them mixed up  ;).The problem of having 2 Margaret Dunnings  :D
I think Margaret McLean would have died at Barnhill Poor house

Yes it was Barnhill. That was a typo but thought I corrected it.
