Hi
I'm researching the Glasgow connections of an Irish musician called Michael Gorman 1895-1970.
I'm particularly interested in the place where Michael was born and where his father, John Gorman, lived and worked. It's called Blackhill Farm and is off Blackhill Road in Cadder. It's still there but the period I'm interested in is 1892-1905. I've found a valuation roll for 1895 where John is listed as living on site. The Gormans moved frequently for work during this period, often travelling between Sligo and Glasgow.
I'd like to find any records, plans or photographs of Blackhill Farm during this period. It was owned by Alexander Young and run by tenants called Imrie, a family of farmers.
Has anyone any tip on where I might find information about the farm at this time?
Thanks
Sarah
