World War One / 3rd Royal Scots WW1
« on: Thursday 11 July 19 23:37 BST (UK)  »
How do I go about finding my great uncles Edward Sweeney's war record? I know that his army number was 52162 of the 3rd Royal Scots. He was a W soldier which I think means in a reserved occupation as he was a coal miner however I am trying to find out if he ever served in the army. Thanks

Lanarkshire / Hawkhead Asylum, Paisley, Govan - Burial Records
« on: Thursday 11 July 19 00:21 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find the burial record for my great uncle Edward Sweeney who died in Hawkhead at the age of 28 yrs old on the 2.01.1920. There is no record of him being buried in his home town of Coatbridge or back home in County Mayo, Ireland. The archivist at the Mitchell Library, Glasgow can't find a record of his burial in Glasgow either. I am wondering if patients were ever buried in common graves within the grounds of the hospital without records being kept if they were or thought to be a pauper, with out family to claim them? His grand daughter and I would like to visit his grave but we cant find it. Any ideas that people may have would be a great help, thanks
