Hi,

Have found a death in 1908 at Craigend, Gourock.

Does anyone have any idea where this might be?

Huh

Hi GreySeagull
I have tried google
but all I am coming up with in the area is the recource centre  in Greenock
I know there is no area called Craigend in Gourock
it may be just that one of the houses in Gourock at
that time was called Craigend
there are a lot of the old houses that still have the name on them
without an address it would be impossible to find if the name has
been taken off
if I ever come across it I will certainly let you know

Accidentally found a J Richardson Craig living at Craigard, Gourock before 1900 in the Glasgow PO directory.

Eventually pinned the place down and discovered it was in Barrhill Road. The Craigs living there and two doors up at Barrhill House were connected to a company called Craig Brothers and may have had links with R & J Craig Shipping.

But don't know if they were the occupants in 1908...

Hi Sheila-Ann,

Thanks for the information.  Will now be able to look at the census for 1901 and later 1911, but maybe there are some voter's rolls or valuation rolls that might help find out who was living there in 1908.

Thanks again

Hi,

Will have to take a look at it later on a different computer.  My computer/browser doesn't seem to like opening files on the Inverclyde website....

Thanks for this
