Vicky, welcome to RootsChat 

There is only one death showing in 1887 on SP so likely him given the details. Also the info on this thread.

Thank you information  about the grave it's  a pity I couldn't find it when me and my mum  went on Friday.  Shame we are going home on Monday back to Hull.

Will have to come back to Glasgow to try again

Well Vicky, Glasgow apparently has more parks than Paris and millions of graves, the days when this was all kept well manicured are long gone. Eat or heat is most folks priority and letting the grass grow is more environmentally sound anyhow. My local park hasn't seen the mower yet, a farmer comes in from East Kilbride every back-end and cuts it gratis to feed the cattle.
 I have gt grandparents, I assume, in Sighthill as they lived across the road, would be astonished if they have anything as grand as the Crum Stone , but if you check the index box for Crum you will find that oor Rena is off the Glasgow Crum's and you might get some Crum's from her table!

Bests,
Skoosh.
