Lanarkshire / Inmates at Maryhill Industrial School, Glasgow sent to Canada.
« on: Thursday 06 July 17 00:56 BST (UK)  »


I’m trying to update my new found information on my grandmother, Catherine Blyth Duffy, who at the age of eleven is recorded as being an inmate at Rottenrow Industrial School in the 1881 census. She was relocated to Maryhill Industrial School where at the age of seventeen, along with other girls from Maryhill School, she was transported to Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada on August 1887. The ship they sailed out on to Canada was the Nova Scotia. After that date I have no other record of her until her marriage on 31 December 1901. The marriage took place in Glasgow. Can anyone assist with regard to assessing records of return sailings from Canada to Scotland / Britain between 1887 and 1901? Any other information would be appreciated. The other girl inmates from Maryhill Industrial School who sailed out with my grandmother were: Maggie Wason, Maggie McCallum, Mary Logie, Mary B. Henderson, Minnie Logie, Mary Gillies, Robina Mitchell, Jessie Paul, Agnes Ross, Lizzie Mills, Agnes Stewart, Katie Reid, Maggie Gow, Agnes Francis and Jane Watson.
