[Pricey4848]

Is there an online method of researching voters or similar citizens address index to find out who / where somebody was living in Glasgow between 1912 - 1922ish??  Thanks  Im looking for Robert George Heron B c1874 Pollok estate ( Pollok House) Glasgow  I know he was living Thistle Street in the Gorbals in 1912....

The 1913 Valuation rolls are online at http://www.theglasgowstory.com/

However they are are indexed by street name so you really need to know the address before starting.

Other valuation rolls and voters rolls are only currently available offline.

I'm hunting on there for an address which is shown on other info as Enumeration District 91 but I don't know the Ward No. 

I have the address but can't find it on the search -  Victoria Cottage Spiers Wharf North which was on the Old Basin of the Forth and Clyde Canal which came under Hamilton Hill reg District.  I've searched under Hamilton Hill/Spiers Wharf North/Old Basin but no joy.

Any ideas what to do next?

From the 1881 census, Victoria Cottage is listed as:

Enumeration District 91
Hamilton Hill
Hamilton Hill Possil Rd
Old Basin House Spiers Wharf North
Possil Rd
Possil Road (Back Land)
Victoria Cottage Spiers Wharf North

From the Glasgow Valuation Rolls for 1913-14, Possil Road. Old Basin, Spiers Wharf (south), Hamilton Hill etc. all show under Ward 17.

Spiers Wharf North shows under Ward 16. Like you though, can't see Victoria Cottage

Thanks Monica I'll have another search - it must be somewhere I have pics of it!

Do you have a name at that address that you could use to check? Just thinking that on the Spiers Wharf North listing on www.theglasgowstory.com/valsearch.php, there are two houses showing as opposed to commercial buildings.

I've found it!  My gt grandfather Robert C Kerr Harbourmaster.   Wasn't listed as Victoria Cottage on there though. 

It was in Hamiltonhill/Firhill etc Ward 17 2nd from the top on Page 259.  Delighted I've found that, thanks for your help.

Robert C Kerr, Harbour Master also shows here http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~glasgow/1927names371.jpg in 1927. Different address again I think!
