We need later Valuation Rolls don't we to search for Margaret - not online yet  :-\

Other ideas...how about PO Directories? The Glasgow ones are great. The 1927 one here http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~glasgow/index-glas.htm  As you can see, you can search by either name or address.

Let me go and find the link for the later Glasgow directories that take you up to the 1930s...be back!

Meant to also ask earlier...have you found Margaret on the 1911 census?

They are all mixed up in order for the counties/areas. Think the Glasgow ones start from pg 4 2 (but they jump about by years).

I normally click on the link on the left 'Read Online', then use the scroller at the bottom of the page to fly up and down!

Thanks for the links to the PO directories - very easy to use. I haven't found any Taylor or Coulson family members ... yet. I will spend hours browsing though :-)

Margaret is living at home with her family in 1911. She is 19, single, a clerkess. So her marriage must be between 1911 and 1923 ... although I'm beginning to suspect there may not have been one.

I think I found George's birth - as a Coulson. There's a George Coulson, born 1922 in Dennistoun Glasgow. It's got to be him :-)

So now I need a lookup for the birth of George COULSON, born 1922 Dennistoun Glasgow. It would be interesting to see if a father is listed.

There was always the possibility that there had been no formal marriage....given none could be found! Would be so interesting to see what shows on that possible birth entry for the George Coulson you have found. There will be no father's name mentioned though, if he did not attend the registration. If he had, you would think the registration would include both surnames of Coulson and Taylor. If this is an illegitimate birth, with mother as a Coulson, and correct entry for Margaret, do not think there will be any reference to father  :-\

You also had a possible 1918 birth entry in Dennistoun for an Edward Taylor, earmarked as possible nephew who reported Uncle George Coulson's death in 1947.

So George Coulson's birth won't help me find the elusive "Edward Taylor". Hmm ...

So I need the birth for Edward Taylor, son of Margaret Bennie and Edward Taylor. I don't think the 1918 one is correct, else why would George be registered as a Coulson in 1925.

I did find an Edward Taylor born 1925 in Govan, which is interesting seeing as I found a Mrs Margaret Taylor at 28 Govanhill St Govan in the 1925 VR. Could be a completely different family I guess.

No, not the one born 1925 Govan. His mother was Margaret Bilsland.

Other possibilities are:
1926   born Plantation
1927 born Anderston
1936 born Provan

1936 will be too late/young to be informant to Uncle George's death in 1947  :-\

We might be also looking for a Coulson, Edward birth perhaps rather than Taylor...

Can't tell can we at this time.

I checked for an Edward Coulson birth on SP - only 1 between 1905 and 1935 - 1919 in Edinburgh, so it's unlikely to be the right one.

Guess I'm going to have to wait a few years for the records to come online :-(
