Lanarkshire / Help from Australia!!! (Very Specific William Wardrop)
« on: Monday 13 August 18 12:55 BST (UK) »
Hello my name is Anthony,
Please before telling me Ive posted in the wrong place, asked the wrong thing etc... please be kind as this is the first forum I have posted on and believe me I have paid a lot of money to ancestry sites before finally posting here.Three generations of Wardrops have passed on without one story of how we made it to Australia and where in Scotland we are from. William Wardrop who died on the 20Th August 1872 at 22 Melville Street, Glasgow at the age of 85 after working as a Chemist for almost 50 years as a chemist for Charles Tennant & Co St. Rollox. That would place him around 1787 born. The only reason I know these specifics is his son Joseph Bogle Wardrop placed them in the Sydney Morning Herald news paper in honour of his father, who to be honest without this strange obituary request I would have zero link to Scotland. if anyone has any way to find out where the grave could be any other family members any historical sites to look up Charles Tennant & Co old photographs as a Chemist is a specific job and even though I think there was 1000 employees you can guarantee a lot more would be labourers then Chemical Chemists. Thank you in advance to anyone who might even give me a direction. Cheers Anthony Wardrop
