Thanks

I think the same year for David too, but is 1960 not yet on Scotland's people?
or more difficult to obtain, or something?

Julie

Many thanks

I have no name or address for the print works, am still thinking it must be the Catholic Observor.

The home addresses I have to date are:

1901 [GOUGH] 19 Sandyfaulds st, Govan
1905 - [GOUGH] 438 South York St Glasgow
1920  [as MC GOUGH] –  494 Crown st Glasgow

are any of these near a printery - incl. the Catholic Observor?

I don't yet have any post 1920 addresses bu twill get onto Scotland's people and see what I can find for births of children etc for the family up to the cut off dates.

thanks again
Julie

Hello

I am seeking   employment/working life information about great grandfather David Gough from Glasgow.

In 1901 aged 15 in Scottish Census he was a "Printers Apprentice" living on Sandyfaulds st

On 1905 marriage cert. he is a "Printer's Manager" and married Esther Cope, a "Printers assistant" living on South York Street

In 1955 he was aged 70 and 'running a Glasgow Catholic newspaper - according to family stories in Australia.

Was he working in the same place for 55 years?

Was it the Scottish Catholic Observer newspaper?
www.scottishcatholicobserver.org.uk/

But a memory of a family visit from Australia then suggests it was not a very big printery. So was this the printworks of another smaller local Catholic newspaper, or one that printed other material also as well as some Catholic pamphlets etc?

I have emailed the Scottish Catholic Observer  last week, asking whether David Gough had been employed there, but no news as yet.

Does anyone have any ideas, direction, or information ?

thanks
Julie
