What area is Graeme Street in Glasgow (re James son's birth). Do you have the BC which would show this?

Monica

[oldbear]

Graeme Street is in the High Church area Monica, my g-grandfather James was born there, he would have been James snr and Margaret Flemings grandson. Hope this is clear, even I'm getting confused and I know the story!

Don't worry, I'm up to speed with who is who..I think  I was just trying to get bearings on where in Glasgow James was born to see if it tied up with any of the James's Snr. marriages I'm seeing.

  I've found James and family in Newington Edinburgh in 1871:

James, widower, shoemaker, 39. b. Ireland
Mary, daugh, 12 b. Edinburgh
Isabella, daugh, 9, b. Edinbugh
Robert Officer (spl?) son in law, hairdresser, 20, b. Ireland
Elizabeth Officer, daugh, married, 17, b. Edinburgh

Address 2 Drummond Street, St Cuthberts

Boy, they certainly are back and forth between Edinburgh and Glasgow. Elizabeth daughter's new married name was Officer. From IGI:

ELIZABETH FERGUSON  Marriages: Spouse: ROBERT OFFICER    
Marriage:  27 SEP 1870  Tradeston, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland

Ok, expanding your family lines here! Elizabeth and Robert Officer's family have been researched before, a number of additional submitted info and actual extracts on IGI for their children. Sadly, lots of early deaths for some of their children:

1. JAMES OFFICER  Birth: 09 MAR 1875 Motherwell, Lanark, Scotland...Death: 24 MAY 1882
2. ALEXANDER OFFICER Birth: 30 JAN 1872 Central District, Glasgow, Lanark, Scotland
3. MARTHA OFFICER Birth: 06 AUG 1873 Govan, Lanark, Scotland...Death: 21 SEP 1962
4. HENRY OFFICER Birth: 30 JUN 1879 Dumbarton, Dunbarton, Scotland...Death: 26 JUL 1880
5. MARGARET OFFICER Birth: 1877 Dumbarton, Dunbarton, Scotland... Death: 01 AUG 1883
6. ROBERT OFFICER Birth: 09 MAY 1876 Dumbarton, Dunbarton, Scotland...Death: 24 MAY 1881

Mary Ferguson Rogan's death, also sadly too young:

Father James is still showing as alive.
