Glasgow address from the late 1800s

[sharonkai]

I have an address in Glasgow, for my grandmother, from a family bible.  My grandmother's family emigrated to Australia in the late 1800's.

I've looked on Google Earth but can't locate it. The address I was given is as follows:

16 Janefield Place
MacLillon Street
Glasgow.

Would anyone know anything about this address?  I'd very much appreciate any assistance anyone can give.

Warm regards

Hi Sharon,

Can you please post a cropped image with surrounding text to help decipher the address?

Good morning Anne

Did you mean a cropped image from the bible? If so, I don't have the bible, my cousin who lives in another city does.  The words are what she deciphered from it.  I did find a Maclellelan Street in Glasgow, on Google Earth, which now looks like an industrial area.  So, perhaps that is the correct street?

Regards

Ok,

Check this link, you need to scroll down to around the 9th entry though;

The Poster's name is James.

Thanks Annie, the link you gave me  was very interesting

I just wonder though, were the tenements there when my grandmother lived in Glasgow? The family emigrated to Australia in 1885, and it appears these tenements could have been built later.

I'll have to do some searching to see when they were actually built.

Thanks again, much appreciated.

Hi Sharon,

If you "google" this ..old photos, maclellan street, glasgow, 1800's

You will find a lot of images, possibly with dates?

I don't have time at the moment to check.

Really appreciate all the help you've given me.

If the Maclellan Street in Kinning Park/Plantation area is the correct one , in the 1880's it would NOT have been in Glasgow. Kinning Park and Govan were independant Burghs in their own right until annexation by Glasgow was completed in 1905 for Kinning Park and 1912 for Govan.
The annexation procedure began around 1870 for Kinning Park with many businesses opposed while the ordinary working folk were claimed to be largely in favour (promises made by Glasgow Council of lower rates, control of landlords etc. are considered to have swayed opinion).
The tenements pictured may have been built later as Glasgow went into a building frenzy in its "new" territories but the style of tenement shown is similar to earlier buildings in nearby Gorbals (1850's - 1870's)

Thanks Falkyrn, that's most helpful.

I found the family in the 1881 census and their address was:

Address:        McLellan St
County:         Lanarkshire
Civil parish:   Govan Church

So, as you say, it would've been part of Govan, not Glasgow at that time.
