Windsor Terrace, Glasgow.....

[ladybird]

Hi me again with a couple of awkward questions

Does anyone know if there is or was a hospital/nursing home at 49 Windsor Terrace, Glasgow in the 1840's please.

Also would Helen be another name for Isabella???

I have a curly question to sort out and need a couple of things clear in my mind first.

thanks Sylvia

Hello Sylvia,

Dennis asked the same question a couple of weeks ago only he was asking about the 1940's.

I don't think any conclusion was reached but you could have a look.

Thanks Annette

I found Dennis' post and the street on the map, but was wondering why my 3xg/grandfather was buried from there rather than the Free Normal School, New City Road where he lived and worked as a janitor.

I thought it's either a hospital or the house of a relative I don't know about.

Hello Sylvia,

I had a look at the 1851 census and at 48 Windsor Terrace lived a John Jeffrey, widower age 40 - a wine merchant who was born in St. Ninians, Stirling. I can only think it was his funeral you received info on and not John the janitor.

Let me know how that fits in with your other research.

Oooooh noooo Annette, my heart just sank!!! But having another look at the burial it's dated 14th Dec 1848.
Is there any way to have a look next door at Number 49 and see if it was a hospital?

Mine was definately a Janitor.
If the wine merchants wife's name was Isabelle it probably nicely gets rid of another worrying marriage though.

I'd better tell the progress so far.....
For years we've had in the family papers an account for a Lair at the Southern Necropolis dated 20th Dec 1848, John Jeffrey, #5452 Lair no 3683.
(It also seems to be big enough for 2 people at 8ft by 3ft.)

No trace of a death for John Jeffrey Snr on SP about this date.

Wife Isabella Jeffrey ms Steven died July 1856, buried by Wylie and Lochead at Southern Necropolis.

Son John Jeffrey died Mar 1856, buried by Wylie and Lochead at Southern Necropolis.

So I wrote to GUAS to find out if, seeing Wylie and Lochead had buried wife and son, had they also buried the father John. I gave them approx dates as I knew JohnSnr had died before 1851 (his son took over his job) They sent me this burial for John Jeffrey at HIGHCHURCH, Glasgow

So I'm still trying to work out which John Jeffrey bought the Lair and who is buried in it??? Is there someone I can ask re the Lair number rather than a name?
I've tried the South. Nec. website and Glasgow City archives couldn't help.

Any help very gratefully received as John snr is a great big blank in my llife at the moment

Just another thought here

The 1848 Highchurch burial was paid by HELLEN JEFFREY according to the Wylie and Lochead records...hence my question about the name Isabella.

Hello again Sylvia,

I had another look at the 1851 census today but there doesn't seem to be a number 49 (all even numbers) and Windsor Terrace didn't exist in 1841.

Is this Windsor Terrace definitely the one which would have been off New City Road at that time?

I don't know if this is the same place, but...

My great-grandparents appear on the 1871 at 14 High Windsor Terrace, which was located in the parish/district of Partick, Lanarkshire (this is now part of Glasgow.)

I haven't been able to find it on the map. I would be interested in any information.

Hello John,

What was the enumeration district?

By the 1881 census, there was no sign of High Windsor Terrace. There were two Windsor Terraces in the Glasgow area:

Windsor Terrace, Cathcart - Vol. 560
Windsor Terrace, Glasgow - Vol. 644/9 Glasgow, Kelvin

All the best,
