Brown's what...?

[Winterbloom21]

Can anyone please interpret for me the address on this 1900 death certificate?     I have tried a few guesses, as in Brown's Passage, Place etc., but cannot find anything to match it on old street names.

[Mort29]

abbreviated Passage ?

[Winterbloom21]

Yes, that was one of the ones I tried.   But I have searched and searched and cannot find it in any street lists of the time.    I was wondering if anyone else might have come across it and had heard of it.   It's likely to be not very far from Gallowgate.   None of my relatives were.

What was the family name as they may still be there on the 1901 census?

[Winterbloom21]

This is the only mention I can find of this address Sancti.    She didn't live at this address in 1891, I'm pretty sure of that, and neither did any of her children that I have managed to trace, nor her husband.(Haven't got the notes in front of me at the moment).      Her name is Elizabeth Hill.

[Winterbloom21]

In 1891 they lived at 40 Elgin Street.

[Winterbloom21]

When Elizabeth Hill died in 1900, the daughter who notified her death was living at Chapell Terrace.   This is the same daughter that she was living with in 1891 at Elgin Street.      I'm wondering whether this address of Brown's whatever was some sort of poorhouse/almshouse.      Certainly, they applied for relief on several occasions in their lifetime.

Normally death records would give the 'Usual Address' if they died in a hospital

[Winterbloom21]

I see.   Well, it must simply be a residential address then.     It just seemed a little odd that she used to live with this daughter when she was 60, ten years previously, but not now.      Who knows what happened.    I noticed that she did die of liver failure.    Perhaps that tells the story.
