I hope someone can help with this one. I am trying to get information about AGNES KIRK and the only clue I have is the following letter:- "Sabbath April 5, 1874 Dear Uncle and Aunt: I am sorry to inform you my mother died here this morning at 2 o'clock. Let my aunt come when you receive this. O I am sorry. O I am sorry. And I am in very bad health at present. I am Remain Yours, John McGlashan" The writer unfortunately did not put an address on his letter thus making it difficult to be sure where the death occurred. The person who died was AGNES KIRK, wife of ALEXANDER McGLASHAN(D). Agnes Kirk and Alexander McGlashan were marred at DUMBARTON, December 15, 1827. Their daughter Mary was baptized there on October 27, 1828 and their son John on August 13, 1831. John McGlashan next wrote on June 16, 1874, from 6 Macintyre Street, Glasgow. It is known that his business was in Glasgow and at least one of his children was born there. Letters subsequent to 1882 were addressed "Strathclyde Villa, Bowling", and it was there that John and his family were enumerated in the 1881 and 1891 censuses for Old Kilpatrick. I am anxious to find out more about AGNES KIRK but the difficulty is in not knowing where she died. Can anyone help or offer advice? I attend each week at a small FHC but they do not have the civil registrations for Scotland. Irene Mitchell, B.C., Canada
