Post by: ABradley on Sunday 27 March 16 22:03 BST (UK)

  Does any one have any information on a murder that took place in the vicinity of the above location possibly on 19th May 1900? I came across this on Ancestry (Police Gazette)

The suspect was an Edward Shevlin.

You can view Glasgow Herald online    https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=GGgVawPscysC&dat=19000522&printsec=frontpage&hl=en

It might take a wee bit time but you could find a report which matches the details you are asking about.

Looby :)
