Main Street, Glasgow

....and you're quite correct.  Main St did (and still does) run from The Cross to Rutherglen Bridge.
There was more than one, one where 'Jewel in the North' states and also the one in Gorbals, both of which were extant in 1920.
We need to have a rethink about Dave's original post.
Does any of the documentation you have specify the area Dave?

MODIFIED - My mind is working far too slow tonight.  What was the family name?  We can have a look at the valuation rolls for 19131914 and see whether the family is there?

I do the birth certificate of my father in law and it states he was born at 244 Main Street, Bridgeton, Glasgow, in the district of Calton. Is it the same area that we were first thinking of Dave?

The family name was Cryans. Hope that helps

Nope.  Jewel in the North picked the correct one.

People living in 244 in 1913 -1914 were Cryans, Crawford, Bonnor and Smith.

Gosh that was quick Dave

I've been looking at maps and valuation rolls for the last hour or so to see what I could find.  Honest, I'm not stalking 

If you haven't already found it on the site aghadowey gave you, here's a more specific link.

Maybe they bought their meat from my grandfather!

In 1851 my GGGrandfather Alex McKenzie lived at 2, Orr Street in Glasgow. He then lived in Paisley for a while, returning to Glasgow to live in Scott St and Trafalgar Street. I imagine all of these streets are in roughly the same area as on the birth records of the children I have Bridgeton, Calton and Anderston.

Dave,
Don't recall the Butchers but my Grannie was quite slow to
let me go to the shop as my taste ran mostly to cream cakes
and chocolate biscuits. I was always directed to the Co-op
with strict instructions not to forget the divi slip.  I know where you are though as my Grannie lived in Abercrombie St
at Crownpoint Road.  I had an Uncle who worked as an usher at the Olympia picture house when I was a kid and he
used to sneak me and a cousin in to sit in the gallery from
time to time.  Happy days, Rin Tin Tin and Hopalong Cassidy
were my boyhood idols.
Jewel in the frozen North
awoke to about a foot of snow this morning and temp minus 9.

Know what you mean.  My central heating system is a bit like that! 

Some of my family lived at 111 Crownpoint Road.  They lived all around Bridgeton, Dennistoun, Camlachie etc.  There's a good chance our families may have crossed paths at some point.
