Andrew, sorry for the delay in replying. The Greers I am related to were Catholic and were from a large family so if your mother went to a Catholic Church it could have been the same family.

Andrew, I'm not sure when they left Bellshill. They seem to have been a large family. The ones I have a particular interest in are Charles Greer and his family. I know Charles, his wife and at least one of his children ended up in Canada from 1919. I believe some of his other children lived in the States.

Thanks for your replies and help. It was the first time I has used rootschat so I wasn't sure if anyone would answer.

Hanes Teulu and Andrew C - thanks for the map information. Interesting to see the comparison between the old map and the current one. I didn't realize the rows were so close to the pits and the railways. Nice to read a personal account of the area.

The address in the 1901 census is Hamilton Road Parkhead Rows, Bellshill etc.

MonicaL  - no the census entry relating to the Fleming family is not connected to me. It's the Greer family that I was looking at.

I was hoping someone would know if the Parkhead Rows in Bellshill, Larnarkshire, Scotland were the same as the East Parkhead Rows in Bellshill (ie different name same place).

My great grandfather was recorded as living on Hamilton Road, Parkhead Rows in 1901. I can only find a reference to East Parkhead Rows on the Scottish Coal Mining website, and was wondering if they were the same place.

Thanks for your help.
