John Gillan

Post by princerupert » Wed Oct 01, 2014 9:37 pm

I found details of a John Gillan living at 15 Grace Street, Partick in 1875 in a family prayer book. Just started looking at family history.

Sorry, but dont know what age he was at the time or what he did for a living. Could he be in the 1881 or 1871 census at this address or perhaps eleswhere in Glasgow. According to a relative he may be aged between 20 and 50 certainly an adult. I suppose he could be any age. Any suggestions or help. Many thanks

Hi Rupert,

[TS_welcome]

The censuses from 1841 to 1911 are available on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk on a pay per view basis. Have you had a look there?

All the best,

AndrewP

Scotland's People also has the Valuation Rolls for 1875:
1875 Tenant Occupier GILLAN JOHN HOUSE 15 GRACE STREET BURGH OF PARTICK GOVAN LANARK COUNTY VR107 / 67 / 758
Unless his Father was also John then he was the head of the house.
