ROOTSCHATTERS, Please help to find....... death (about 1910) in Glasgow, Barony, Lanarkshire of Mary Kelly who married my great grandfather John Adamson

How very strange. I've just looked up Mary and John on the 1911, just to check, and find that they both seem to be alive. However, Mary appears to have a different place of birth than previously.

1911 Census
17 Blackie Street, Anderston, Glasgow

John Adamson, 62, Grain Miller, b. Kinross
Mary, w, 59, married 32 years, 5 children,  2 still alive, b. Glasgow
David, son, 30, single, ?Linotype mechanic, b. Glasgow
Bella Milligan, visitor, 31, m 8 years, 3 children, 3 still alive, b. Glasgow
David A Milligan, 7, at school, b. Perth

(I presume that Bella is their  daughter)

So Mary died after 1911.

The new SP doesn't make it easy to find deaths - the new search is not as neat as the previous one. Now we know that she was alive in 1911, she could have died at any time afterwards (within reason, given her DofB!).  I've checked what online newspapers are available to me, but nothing showing.

It would be good if Audrey could tell us why she thought that Mary had died in Barony, circa 1910.

I've just been looking at some of the trees. It's amazing how they all seem to suggest that John died in Melbourne in 1909 (arriving there in 1881!)  It seems that it's most likely that one person wrote that on their tree and others followed - no checks whatsoever!

Do we have a death for John?

I suppose the death for John Adamson 1911 Hilllhead Glasgow age 62 could still be a possible after the 1911 census

Tried Wills and Valuation Rolls but nothing that jumps out.

Rosie - your 1911 one seemed to be the only one that would fit (1911-1930) so I took a gamble, thinking that he could have died in hospital.

John died 24th May 1911, aged 62 (married to Mary Kelly or Tillie) in Western General. usual residence 17 Blackie Street, Anderston. Cause - intestinal obstruction.
Informant was son David.

Will have another look for Mary.
