Hi Jody, Very complicated right enough. I feel your pain trying to piece all the info together. Not much luck with George Francis's birth but I did find a record of Annie King's death at the IGI :( Name Anna M.

So a fair chance that the William who died in 1936 is the one who stayed at 100 Harmony Row. Regards...

Oh good, so many possible variations on all her names!

I'm not having any luck finding the death of Christina Adam(s) born around 1820 in Govan. I have found her on census records up until 1861 where she is with her family at 19 Albert St, Govan. I don't think she was ever married to David or the father of John and James Mc(g)rory David Balintine 55 bor...

On any Glasgow poorhouse applications the applicant gives his/her parents' names, place of birth and if they are living when they are the pauper or sick person. Sometimes it is a relative who applies for them to be admitted and in that case I think they would supply the information. Regards, Annette

I have it Ailsa - now all I have to do is figure out how to post it.
