HI Everyone,

 I really need some RC help on this person . We cannot find him anywhere after 1888 . here is the information that we do have -

Peter Blair -  Illegitimate

B. 26 Apr 1871 - 13 Bell St . Glasgow

Parents - Michael Blair ( Rivetter , Journeyman)
                Sarah Farrell -(power loom weaver ) widow of Michael Muldoon

Birth registry was signed by both parents . And we know what happens to the parents .

In the 1881 Census , Peter is at a school in Dennistoun . (excuse spelling )

In 1888 , Peter Blair signs his mothers death registry . Death by tramcar .

We have no other record for Peter after this 1888 date . He lists his address at the time of the registry as 2 McPherson St , Glasgow .

Peter's father Michael Blair is in and out of the poorhouse and or jail until his death in 23 Jun 1892 . But no sign of Peter on his death registry or in any poorhouses or jails ( thank goodness ).

Any help or suggestions !!!!

Hi ,

 I was wondering if anybody wanted to take a stab at restoring this picture and possibly date it . I figure dating will be hard because it is only furniture but just thought I 'd ask .

This is a picture of my great great Aunts parlor . Funny thing is that before it was her parlor she was a servant in this house when she first came over from Ireland . Her future husband told her if she married him he would one day buy this house for her . And he did .

Thanks,
Megan

Hi ,
 
I just received some records of my gg uncles war service. On his attestation page it says that he was living here -

Michael McGrory - b. 12 Oct 1884 in Keady , Co. Armagh, Ireland

Address - 560 Liverpool Rd , Irlam , Near Manchester

Occupation - Steelworker

Enlisted - 21 Sep 1915 at Hamilton


My questions are -

Can anyone tell me about this area ? Were there steelmills around Irlam ?
Is there a website that might have photos of this area ? And lastly , where is Hamilton in relation to Irlam ?

Michael McGrory died 2 Nov 1918 and is buried in Belguim . I am just trying to figure out how he got from Ireland to England and what he was doing before he gave his life to the War .

Thank you,
Megan
