Duntocher families

Helen et al,

I've now managed to find Mary Gallacher on the death register (Nov 1921). The death was registered in Greenock (44 Union Street) although her usual address was given as New Street Duntocher.

Anyway problem solved - for the moment.

Thanks for your help.

Gerry

Well done, and thanks for the info.  For my files would you mind telling me the date, cause, and informant please.
Helen.

No worries.

Info on Mary Gallacher (ms Hanlin or Handlin)
Date of death 3rd November 1921  age 79
Parents: John Hanlin, Mary Hanlin (ms Coogan)
Cause of death Senile debility and heart disease
Informant: Thomas Gallacher - son

Place of death: 44 Union Street, Greenock
Usual residence: 41 New Street Duntocher

I did discover that the address in Greenock is a care home run by the Little Sisters of the Poor (a religious order that care for the elderly) and rather spookily my own sister is now one of the nuns of that order.

I've tried attaching a copy of the record (hope that is not illegal) I'm sure a mod can delete it if it is.

Thank you for that Gerry - brilliant!  And thanks for the information on the Greenock address, that's useful to know.

Doing some research and came across this post and thought I might add some family history if I may.

My great grandfather John McCUE was living at 37 New Street Duntocher in 1911. From the census and war records;

McCUE John (48) Sewing Machine Builder
McCUE Margaret (45)
McCUE Thomas (19) Sewing Machine Builder - Killed in WW1
McCUE John (17) Plater's Helper Shipyards - Killed in WW1
McCUE Mary (14)
McCUE Elizabeth (6)
McCUE Margaret (2)

The family moved to Duntocher from Glasgow. Elizabeth and Margaret were born in Duntocher. Margaret was my grandmother.

With reference to other posts in this topic there is some relationship to Gallachers and Dochertys from the Dunbarton area.

Hi Jim

I have McLaffertys in my family tree from Duntocher but not done much research on them. My G Grandmother was a Janet McLafferty - more detail on my website:  http://fornhelper.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=fornhelper&view=9&ver=762

If anyone has any info on this branch of McLafferty's it would be greatly appreciated

Cheers
