Lanarkshire / James Traynor/Trainer Glasgow - Is this his death?
« on: Saturday 05 August 17 19:48 BST (UK) »
Hi All,
I'm a bit stuck on James Trainer:
I know he was a labourer in Glasgow, and from Ireland. I have found a death of a James Trainer, 50 years old, on 4th Jan 1857, at 8 Low Green Street, Glasgow. Unfortunately, it just says 'married' but not who to. He is buried at Dalbeth Cemetery.
I know he died between 1852-61. As his wife is described as widow in 1861. At that point, his Daughter Elizabeth (1837) is married to James Quigley, Tallow Chandler - James (1852), John (1842), and Helen (c.1801), James Sr's two sons and wife are living with them at 59 Saltmarket Street.
Is this death my James? Looking at old maps, Low Green Street (now Turnbull Street) and Saltmarket street are incredibly close to each other, with closes between them. And looking at the valuation rolls, 8 low green street seems to just be a store and yard.
Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
