Graveyard in Glasgow

[anniedwyer84]

Actually, I got the index for her death from Scotland's People, and it gives Martha Street on it and since I posted, I have found out that is where the record office is. I will be ordering the death cert next week, so I'm hoping it will give her address in Glasgow, and see what can happen from there

Good Luck with that Annie.

I will be ordering the death cert next week

Is this death before 31 December 1964? Because if so, you don't need to order the certificate, you can just download a digital image from Scotland's People. Much cheaper!

Death was in 1985 But thank you all for helping me out

By 1985 Martha Street was the Registry Office for the whole of Glasgow - the death certificate when it arrives should tell you the place of death and last known address (if different).

The Cemetery records have been digitised but are not yet available to the Public - they are currently held by the City Archives at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow and all enquiries to the council cemeteries department will refer you to the Mitchell. Staff at the Mitchell will conduct a search of the digital records for you for a fee (you would need to contact them for full details) which varies according to the amount of searching required. (previously the Council Cemetery Department quoted figures around £60 per hour for searching but staff at the Mitchell say that their fees are much lower than this)

Hadn't realised that this was so recent, most probably a cremation.

If you could check the archives of local newspapers you may be lucky enough to find a death announcement. It will give details of the funeral.

Thanks everyone - never thought to have checked newspapers  She worked in Glasgow from the age of 15, never married and worked for a family all her life. Will see what happens when we get the death cert

Annie, for intimations the Evening Times is the most likely, the Glasgow Herald was more or less for the prominenti.
