Yes you're right about the PO directories.  It is primarily a BUSINESS document. 

There is a Street Directory but the first part of the book is an alphabetical list of Businesses.  In the Street Directory, many of the names are of the same people who were also in the business section.  If you ran a shop, a pub, a doctors,  or any kind of business you would pay to be in.   

If you were just an ordinary working family,  sharing a rented close, stair, flat or rooms, then I think it is less likely that you will be in the PO directory.    As the directory moves out of the tenement streets and into streets of owner-occupier detached and semis, then the coverage becomes more comprehensive, but still not complete - there are many missing house numbers.


All the above is my interpretation; I welcome other views.

I have just bought a compendium of Glasgow PO Directories...

I don't have 1935 but here is extract for 33-34..

.. sorry but Cardowan Road (Stepps / Carntyne area ?) is not in the directory.

If you don't use Windows Mail then you could just disable it, as described here:

It sounds like your system is set up to run Windows Mial, so diable it and the problem should go?

The date of the certificate would be a help.  I think that it's unlikely that a woman was a "Gear Works Machinist" - unless we are talking about WW1 or WW2 years.  Not impossible of course, but unlikely.

I think the "relationship to Head of Household" is "Inmate of Reform School".  Could this be her?
