251 St Vincent Street, Glasgow

[doddsie4]

       Just by the way, there was a place called the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Glasgow at 232 - 242 St Vincent Street at that time.      It still exists.       It is in the Glasgow telephone book.
Perhaps a few blocks of buildings, either side were connected with it.    In the old days, in Manchester, an ancestor of mine was a Doctor and Surgeon, and he delivered babies.      Just a thought.

Hello Roman
That's interesting information. Do you know how I could find out more information, especially pre-1940? Happy New Year.

My mum was born there in 1930. I'd love to find more information as well.

'The Scotsman' dated 10th January 1931 (and various other dates throughout 1927) has an advertisement stating:

'Nurse Mulgrew (certificated) has private rooms for confinements. 251 St Vincent Street, Glasgow.'

This confirms the same name for this address from hume24's post of 2008.

Regards,

On the Valuation Records on  https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, 1920 VR of 251 St Vincent Street shows a Catherine Mulgrew, as one of 8 tenants at this address. In 1925 and 1930 it shows a Mrs Catherine Johnston, a Catherine Mulgrew married a Neil Johnston in 1921 in Milton. I suspect she kept her maiden name for nurse, due to certification. She is not in the 1935 VR at this address.

No-one has included which area (in Glasgow) 251 Vincent St. was?

Not sure if this is relevant for anyone's research but...

I looked at a map & the area which came up looks to be Anderston?

However...

Death for Catherine Mildrew or Johnston

JOHNSTON CATHERINE 71
1956
644/6 11 Blythswood

Blythswood seems very close to Anderston (2 mins by car)

Hi Rosinish,

That is the correct death certificate, she was a widow, Neil Johnston, a printers assistant, had died earlier. She was found dead in 9, Minerva Street, not too far from St Vincent Street, although registered in Blythswood. Her son, Anthony Johnston registered her death.
