Request: Old picture of Possil Park Parish church?
« on: Thursday 27 November 25 16:04 GMT (UK) »
Hello all,

I'm new to Rootschat.com and would like to say hi.

I'm researching my grandmother's family history as she herself says she doesn't think she has much longer  :'( and I'd love to find a photograph of Possil Park Parish church in its original form where her own parents were married in 1930.  A google search only has a modern looking building which it is hard to imagine being the same place.

A search on Newspapers.com only turned up a closing service in the late 1980s so I am hoping someone has something they could share from before then?

Many thanks in anticipation of any replies :)

Take care,
Suzi

Hi, and welcome to RootsChat :)

Have you thought about asking the Glasgow City Archives if they have a photo of the church?
https://www.glasgowlife.org.uk/libraries/city-archives
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.

Hi Forfarian, and thank you for welcoming me. 

No, I hadn't thought of asking them.  Thank you for the link, I'll see if they can help and I'll post an update here if I get anywhere 😊bw, Suzi

There is a picture of it on the Virtual Mitchell site.
I've checked nls maps and this is shown as the site of Possilpark Parish Church on the 1969 map.
