Hi, I had a great Uncle who died in the asylum and contacted the library who very kindly forwarded his notes that were filled out on his entry and the date of death. What i was wondering is I would imagine that photographs were taken of each person when admitted for info and in case someone 'wandered off'. Any ideas where those might have gone and any notes on their treatment as he was in there over 20 years before dying of TB in 1942. The library doesn't know where that info might have went. Thank You Patsy

Been on years ago abut these two but still looking. Firstly Robert Fleming born 1854 Faskin and married Mary Young, Lived in the miners rows in Netherton in New Kilpatrick which is now the Anniesland area. I don't need to find out any more about him except why I can't find any report of his death in the newspapers on that site or on 'Find my Past'. Quick run down. They were at a New Year's Dance next to the Lock 27 where they stayed. His brother Thomas who was born in 1846 sat on a seat where a lady had left her hat with a very large hatpin in it. In the early hours he was asked if he could run along the canal to Maryhill to fetch a doctor for Thomas. He did so and made his way back along the canal towpath whilst the Doctor went by carriage. Doctor came and went but Thomas never returned to his mothers or his own house. He as eventually found at in a hollow between the canal and the 2 big gasometers there. This was 1st January 1897 Temple Gas Works. He was taken  to the Western Infirmary and died without regaining consciousness on 12th January at 3.15, The procurator fiscals report believe he fell from a wooden platform connecting the gas works an canal and a wire penetrated his brain. Suffered fractures to base of skull, lacerations of the brain and a subdural haemorrhage. Sorry that was a long story but it was unusual and happening in the early hours of New Years Day I thought it would have been reported somewhere. Then after that his brother seemingly died and was buried at sea but cant find him anywhere. Many Thanks

Hi friends, a bit of a weird name here. William John Mejury  born about 1850 to John Mejury and Isabella Scott. Can't find his parents marriage anywhere. In Glasgow where he lived until his death in 1910 his name changed spelling in the census and marriage, births of children etc. I have tried Mejury, Majury, Mc Jury, Mejorie etc. He had said he was born in Saintfield , County Down. I have heard are are several more variants of the spelling but thought some locals might be more familiar with it. Thank you in advance. Patsy x
