Janet Couper/Cooper died 16.03.1888 Barnhill Poor House near Glasgow

I agree with Neale1961....lost records are common I'm afraid from the time period regards Barnhill being near Glasgow its not it is in Glasgow the registration district name changes during/after the Industrial revolution add to the confusion from Barony,Dennistoun,St Rollox,Garngad/Royston Springburn etc they are all close and overlap each other the two main factors being Glasgow Royal (still standing today) and Barnhill Poorhouse (footprint still there today though now a housing estate) Thomas Couper son may have lived in the Calton district again within a half mile of the two mentioned main institutes. Garngad ps I forgot to mention I have an aunty called Anna and after 50 plus years only found out she is actually named Johanna.

Thank you garngad and neale1961. with the records you have pointed me in the direction of I think you are correct in that we have found Janet's parents and some other siblings as well. Her birth year of abt 1809/1811 in the census will be as good as we get without a baptism record.

The death record for Thomas will take as a further generation back on Janet's paternal line  . Thomas's occupation is listed as Thatcher which ties back into Janet's death record and which also ties in with the 1841 census record.
Thomas's father is named as Thomas also, a farmer deceased and Elizabeth Hamilton ms Lawson deceased. Informant was also Thomas Hamilton his son. So 4 generations each with a Thomas Hamilton.
Thank you everyone for all your help
