Glasgow Limrick?

[gabnash]

I have a census return from London, which shows the head of the household and the eldest son both having been born in 'Glasgow Limrick'. I've heard of Limerick in Ireland - is there a Limrick in the Glasgow area? Or does this entry mean something else?

Thanks is advance

Hi there,

Might it say 'Lanark'? - Glasgow is in Lanark

I guess it's possible - I have only seen a transcription rather than the original copperplate. That would certainly make more sense!

Hi, What  census year were they in London?
I can check the 1861 Glasgow names index if it helps.

Thanks.

It was the 1891 census. I know that they got married last quarter of 1875. Once I have the marriage certificate I'll probably have a John Gallacher to trace in Glasgow in 1861!
