West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Re: Help with Birth address in 1912 Birth of Jane SWAN
« on: Friday 18 May 18 23:56 BST (UK) »
Thank you Istrice.
I think you are correct. I checked at SNL maps using a 25 inch to mile but did not find the location. There were several places that seemed to show row houses but no names.
I wonder if it would have shown up in the 1901 or 1911 census.? Ima wondering how to look at the enumerators reports to see where it was in relation to other dwellings in the area.

Thank you so much.
I had got a couple of stray hints that there might be a Irish Connection.
Could not find the parebts births in Scotland.
Jane must have understated her age, Also could not find her divorce from a Williamson,prior to her marriage in,1946.
