The Common Room / 47 Hospital Street, Glasgow 1918
« on: Wednesday 10 October 18 14:29 BST (UK) »
Today I received a copy of my Grand-Fathers Birth Certificate - We didn't know anything about his family as he was adopted.
Today I discovered his birth mother was called Sophia Robertson and he was born 4th September 1918 at 47 Hospital Street in Glasgow.
He was illegitimate which is why Im assuming put up for adoption.
The birth certificate says his birth mother was a housekeeper and what looks to be written as (formally dyers finisher ? - the writing isn't very clear)
I dont know where she was born and I cant find anything out about Hospital Street in the Gorbals area of the town in 1918.
I can remember he was adopted into the Black family from Bargeddie but apart from that, thats all I know .....
Any information would be appreciated
