14 Inchgreen Street in Greenock 1902 - 1915?
« on: Tuesday 21 March 06 10:25 UTC (UK) »
Would there be any directories that can be searched for Frank/Francis Courtney in the Greenock area please from 1902 - 1915?

In 1901 he and his family were living in 14 Inchgreen Street, Greenock and it would be interesting to see how long they lived there?

Is there any occupation mentioned for him?

Many thanks

Hi Cranstone

I don't know about directories or how much help they would give. You might be more successful with the electoral Roll for the area. The local library may be prepared to do a look-up for you if you can't visit in person.

Inchgreen Street is near Bogston railway station and is so close to the shipyards that Frank would only have to fall out of bed to be at work. The yards were the major employer at that end of the town in those days although there was a ropeworks a mile or so away. The houses may even have been owned by the shipyards.
A lot of that area has been taken over for industrial building so I'm not sure if any residential housing still exists.
Perhaps somebody more local will spot this and give a more definitive answer.

Hi

My great gran lived at 14 Inchgreen Street. Her name was Martha Wilson, I'm not sure when she moved there as she lived at other no's too(she seems to have lived most of her life in that street) but she was there when she died which was in 1952

Don't know if this is of any help
kind regards

Also that street doesn't exist any more as all the houses were knocked down - which is a real shame.

Hi there Cranstone

Just had a look on the 1901 census on Scotlands People and there is an entry for a Frank Courtney in Greenock. Just run out off credits and not planning to purchase any for a while so can't check it for you I am afraid.

It might be worth your while having a look there.
