What I was attempting to point out, was that in your opening post on this thread, you said:

.   There are several Catherine Frasers showing on the census records, but not knowing the Glasgow area, I don't know which one to click into. Can anyone help me, please?

Cadder (Western), Partick, Blackfriars, Bridgeton, Dennistoun, Gorbals, Blythswood, St Rollox, Plantation Landward, Tradeston.

     

yet in your old post at https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=406645.0, you seemed to already know that 6 Brown Street was the one in Blythswood, as James Fraser was boarding there in 1901, but Catherine wasn't.

Sorry Scotmum, my head is so muddled with all this.
I think I need to close down my laptop and do some cross stitch  :)
