Hello all
I'd hoped that I'd managed to track down a shadowy GG-GF to the City Workhouse in Glasgow. His death certificate details are:
- William Green, born Glasgow, aged 44 years (born 1813 or 1814) died in the City Workhouse, Glasgow, on 18th April, 1858
- Recorded as pauper, currier, and married
- He was seen / diagnosed the previous day (17th) and his death was registered the following day, the 19th
- Buried at Sighthill cemetery
There appears to be a record for someone very similar (D-HEW 10/5/16/2, p. 547) but the birth date doesn't quite match (1808). The only other two records I have of him are the censuses in 1841 and 1851 and both tally for the birth year (1813/14).
It had been my intention to check the records out in person but a dislocated ankle has put paid to that idea for the time being
I wondered if any kind soul had plans to visit the City Archives at the Mitchell Library sometime soon(ish) and would be kind enough to jot down a few details for me?
Many thanks
Alex
