Bridget McIvor nee Kerr death record

[anotherhugh]

Mea culpa! Forgot about that alternative spelling of Bridget.

Definitely worth a look at that certificate.

Thanks for your help, we got their in the end! Oh wow all the different names and spellings!

[DuncanM]

Ah excellent, that's great news, a good Rootschat result

Bridget's usual residence was given as Mugdock Road, Milngavie on her death registration.

We have seen the potential use by her (we think) of the first name Elizabeth.

The Valuation Rolls in 1915 and 1920 have:

ELIZABETH MACIVOR
WIDOW
Tenant/Occupier
HOUSE AND SHOP MUGDOCK ROAD
NEW KILPATRICK

There is also this entry on the 1921 census for:

ELIZABETH MCIVOR
1921
Age 80
500/2 3/ 11
Milngavie
Dunbarton

This Elizabeth might be the same one who shows 10 years earlier on the 1911 census:

ELIZABETH MCIVOR
1911
Age 70
500/ 18/ 7
New or East Kilpatrick
Dunbarton

Some old photos here of Milngavie which are always fun to see www.caingram.info/Scotland/Pic_htm/milngavie_old.htm

As Duncan has suggested, the McIvor daughters could well have been buried at St Kentigerns Roman Catholic Cemetery.

If you sign in to Family Search (free to do so if you haven't registered before with the site), I think this is Bridget's burial at the bottom of the page, on 30 March 1925 www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C342-79FL-Y?i=877&cat=1321853

Following Duncan's clear instructions and looking at the lair books, it would seem that Bridget is buried together with her daughter Catherine...which I have to admit, has made me smile.

Thanks Monica,

and for checking all this out. I'd agree with what you have found and it looks like Bridget / Elizabeth stayed close to her family.

In 1921 the census ref is the same as daughter Catherine Grenary and family and in 1911 a few census numbers along from Catherine Granary and family.

Cheers

Hi Monica, thanks for all your help and the links!

I wonder if the shop was a sweet shop? I had a census return showing her as possible "confectioner" on Mugdock road. Great great great granny running a sweet shop, how nice!

I wonder if the family graves/lair is still there. Around where i live they tend to expire after 70 or so years. I agree, nice they were all laid to rest together.

What i thought was interesting, was how on Bridgets death cert. her husband was an Ironmoulder (journeyman)? On Catherines death cert. the year before he a solider in the Blackwatch. Hugh McIvor had claimed himself to be a farmer.

Im 90% sure he went to the USA shortly after the two kids were born and had a whole new family. Perhaps on speculation can be held on this topic but it was a family story too!
