Family History Beginners Board / Re: Henry Owens also known as Jake Kilrain Scottish Boxer

Sorry but it was only a short story that my aunt was writing for a Scottish Magazine.  If you want to give me an email address I can get a copy of the story.  My aunt who wrote the story also lives in Canada.  If it is the same painting it will have my grandfathers signature John McVey who was a well known local artist and I am sure that she would appreciate a photo.

Hi
I originally started the discussion re Jake Kilrain but I don't have any information that I can pass on.  My Aunt in Canada was writing a short story about Jake as her father had painted Jakes portrait in the 1900's.  I remembered seeing the painting as a youngster and knew that my father had given it to a relation of Jakes.  My Aunt wanted to try and get a photo of the painting and I had found out that it had been hanging in a well known pub in Baillieston, Glasgow but when the pub had been recently renovated the picture had been given back to the family.  Sorry but I can't tell you any more than that.

Wish I could help you but I had no reply from any of his family.  The only person who was able to help us  was a gentleman called Miles Templeton  who is a boxing historian and knew quite a lot about Jake and he me be able to help you.  Do you mind me asking what it is you have?

I am not related to Jake Kilrain but my Aunt was writing a story about him.  My grandfather did a portrait painting on the boxer in the 1900s and we were interested to know of its whereabouts.  I remember the painting from my childhood and it was given to a relation of Jakes family by my father.

Looking for information on Henry Owens born 29th May 1914, Bothwell, Lanarkshire Scotland who was a well known Scottish Boxer and fought under the name of Jake Kilrain.  He married Nora Gallagher 8th July 1937 in Scotland.  I am looking for his death certificate and have searched Scotland's People but can find one.  Possible he left Scotland and moved further afield.  Can anyone help find a death certificate?

They did live in  engine Street and North Bridge St.  I think the cemetery was on Glasgow Road.  I think I will email or phone Bathgate and see if I can get any further.  Thanks for all your help
