yup, me again

my Great Grandfather is causing me problems, I have his birth and marriage records.
B 20 apr 1881    32 Glasgow Rd Rutherglen to William STEWART and Elizabeth STEWART (Ne CRAIG)

on the 1891 census at Greenleeshill farm (which, for anyone following my seach is no surprise)

Married Helen Watson BURNS on 5 Oct 1906 , his address is shown as 76 Horne St. His profession is shown as an Iron turner (journeyman).

in the 1901 census, the rest of the family ARE shown at 76 Horne St, but not John. (unless, as usual, I'm missing something obvious, again)

I've been told he died in 1934, but can't corroborate that and I cannot find a death cert on SP, due to the common nature of the name, (even just in my family we are littered with John Stewarts) in the search results, nothing QUITE matches.

So, if anyone could assist me in the search for him on the 1901 and/or the death cert, I'd be massively thankful.

(and this is just the Stewart side, I've my mother's side to come yet, and that takes me into England and to Co Down (so far))

no lair numbers as, for now, I'm not even sure they are there..though it's likely
I haven't come across any burial reference on the death certs, but the bulk of my family post 1840 were in very close proximity in that area.

I'll have to see if anyone is able to look in the Mitchell for me, as I'm in Berkshire and only get back to Glasgow once or twice a year at most.

I remember how big Sighthill is as my grandparents used to take my brother and I up there/Springburn park when we were wee.

I can't remember if we ever had any graves pointed out to us though

Thanks for the help so far though.

Would burials in from around 1840-1940 have tended to be in Sighthill or elsewhere (Necropolis ? somewhere else?)

A large part of my family on both sides lived in Petershill Rd, Keppochhill Rd, and the surrounding areas, I've seen most of the death certificates, so I know place of death, what I'm not sure is how to start checking burials from this period and then which cemetery I should be searching.

from a google search.. a qoute...

"Born 1967, Ross Hospital Paisley. Lived on Morgan Street in Govan Hill until I was 4. Moved to Croftfoot, where I went to Croftfoot Primary and Kingspark SS until we immigrated to Canada in 1981. "

So there was a Morgan Street in Govan Hill until at least 1971, looking at the ariel, Morgan Mews is a recent redevelopment. having grown up in and around Glasgow in the 70's and 80's I know how much has changed, and even more so on my rare visits back...

so...I think your Morgan Street would be in Govan Hill, just need to find an old map to corroborate
