Trade Directory..Glasgow c1863?
« on: Friday 13 May 05 09:33 BST (UK) »
I was wondering if there was a trade directory for Glasgow around 1863..

I have a Francis McQuade that was a Cabinet Maker/Joiner.. and was wanting to find a little more on him..

In 1863, age 48 he died at a Millars Place, Stockwell Street Glasgow.. I have found that in 1867 Millars Place Stockwell street was a furniture store.. So was wondering if the shop was ran or owned previously by my Francis McQuade.. I found a photo on the Virt. Mitchell Lib. site of Millars Place a furniture store 1867..

On his death certificate he is down as a furniture dealer (census has him as a cabinet maker) and on his wifes death certificate has him down as a Master Cabinet Maker.

So I was wondering how I go about finding out if he owned or ran the place..

He would have done an apprenticeship in Co Monaghan Ireland as didn't come to Glasgow until c1847-49..

Thank you, Ele...

Ele, try emailing the Mitchell Library to ask for some help.  They might have a Directory with some information.
