I used to live in Milngavie, in Montrose Gardens, in the early 1950's, and I was always proud of the fact that I knew how to pronounce the place as "Milguy", especially when I moved to England and got into conversation with Scots people here.
Sorry, no help at all with this query, just couldn't resist a bit of nostalgia...!

Bearsden then Milngavie & then on to Maryhill.They all sort of flow into each other.
As to somebody living in Bearsden & being Milngavie or vice-versa not that surprising.
Take into account religion-certain religions would traditionally be buried in certain cemeteries.
Family lairs- maybe money was a problem so placed in an ex sisting lair that belonged to the family.
As to Lymburn Road-maybe the home of another rellie who took care of her.If it were a hospital I would expect it to be named.Lots of Nursing Homes,Care Homes in Milngavie.

Shaun J,
Yes, we're probably a couple of interlopers on this particular thread, but thanks so much for that excellent Milngavie website. Think I might post on its message board - have strong memories of our house in Montrose Gardens with its back garden running down to Tannoch (was it?) Loch, which used to freeze over in the winter; I used to stand on my father's foot with my arms and body tight around his leg as he skated across the ice. I also remember an Alsatian dog falling under the too-thin ice and disappearing without trace until its body was found in the thaw next springtime. This was about 1951, and I was about 4 years old...
