John Thomson b 1868 Barnhill Poorhouse Springburn Glasgow

Yes it does fit. Would there have been a inquest ?

No.

There is no such procedure as an inquest in Scotland.

If there was any reason to think the death was not due to natural causes there would have been a report to the Procurator Fiscal*, who would have decided whether any further investigation was necessary.

*There are no coroners in Scotland either, by the way.

No need for apology - I just didn't want you going looking for something that doesn't exist

You get the feeling that the marriage for John and Charlotte may not have gone so well...

If that is John Thomson's death that Sancti has found (and there will not be any way really to confirm) then it looks like Charlotte and John may not have lived together by then.

Re the family entry for 1901, I struggle to find it so far. With son John being born on 9 April at the address her brother Samuel is to be found on 1st April 1901 for his family's 1901 entry, Charlotte at least looks to be in Glasgow. Whether there were any living children at this time is hard to guess without finding her entry.

Ok,
 I have checked and printed of the right certs for John and Mary Ann Black and there daughter.

What did Mary Ann Black died from? She was so young at death and not long after she gave birth to daughter

She died from Pelvic Cellulitis a month after her daughter was born.
pelvic cellulitis. bacterial infection of the parametrium, occurring after childbirth or spontaneous or therapeutic abortion. It represents an extension of infection via the blood vessels and lymphatics from a primary wound infection in the external genitalia, perineum, vagina, cervix, or uterus.
Poor girl must have been in agony.

She died in the poorhouse her home address was (would you believe) 79 Whitevale Street

Poor thing 

They must have living with John's mum, Bridget Thomson, at that address. Certainly where Bridget shows in 1891 with her granddaughter Mary Ann.

Can't easily find Bridget and Mary Ann in the 1901 census so far either.

Bridget's death is also hard to find. Unfortunately, Sancti, it is not the death that you thought it could be from 1908 in Calton. Nothing else really coming up to fit on SP.
