James Gow Brock (Senior)
« on: Sunday 24 November 19 15:31 GMT (UK) »
Hello

I am looking for the death and burial place, for James Gow Brock (Senior), he was born in Hamilton, Lanarkshire, Scotland in 1879.  His parents were Thomas Brock and Agnes Jamieson and he was married to Agnes Stewart Dodds Hendry.  Agnes Hendry died in Glasgow and on her death certificate in 1936 it says that they usually lived at Kinmont Road, Toronto, Canada. 

Regards
Oletta

Another outward journey from Greenock to New Brunswick on 21.1.1928 .  James is shown as a baker

None of the entries show a middle name of Gow or even an initial

Checked the street index in the back of the 1936 directory - and there is no Kinmont.

Can you tell us all from the DC please?

Was Agnes described as 'Married to' or 'Widow of' James?

Who was the informant (was there an address for her/him) & what was the address she died at?

The death certificate for Agnes Stuart Dodd Brock nee Hendry reads : - that she was married to James Gow Brock (Baker),  she died on the 23 August 1936 at the Royal Infirmary, Townhead, Glasgow.  Usual residence  951 the next word is very hard to read, Toronto, Canada.  The informant was James Gow Brock, Widower.
