Only the name of an owner (Proprietor) or a tenant would show on the valuation rolls. The only match that comes up in that period is in Hyndford Road, Lanark with Proprietor Thomas Mackinlay.

I've gone in to view the rolls, got tenants listed but she isnt on there. Is it possible servants arent included?

As Isobel suggests, if your g g/mother wasn't a Proprietor or Tenant she wouldn't be named on the Valuation Rolls as she'd be a Lodger i.e. not the Owner or Rent Payer which is very different from the VRs (Voters Rolls).

Thanks Annie,

I'll see if the archives have any voters rolls for the 30s.

There are printed registers of electors for the 1930s. You should be able to see these in a local library in Renfrewshire, possibly in the Mitchell Library in Glasgow, and the National Library of Scotland and the National Records of Scotland, both in Edinburgh, should have complete sets of them.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.
