Boy, that's an old post! It was done way before I had any concrete information on my mother's family. To answer your question: all I know is that it was in "downtown Glasgow" and my father gave me the impression that that my uncle was an "unsavory character". My dad passed away Dec 26, 2002, so I can't ask him for more details. ---------- To correct some info in my post from 2000: My mother's parents were Daniel Kelly and Ellen/Helen Duff McGlone. Daniel was the son of James Kelly and Margaret Butler, both of whom immigrated from Ireland. Daniel married Helen Duff McGlone in 1916 in Gorbals, Glasgow. Daniel passed from Grave's Disease in 1936. I believe Helen passed away either in the mid 50s or "shortly after the war" (WWII). I seem to remember being told both, but the mid 50s *could* be construed as "shortly after the war". As yet I have been unable to locate a death certificate for her. There was no "Daniel Duff". I was unaware of Scottish/Irish naming conventions at the time of my original post. The Duff name came from my great-grandmother, Christina Duff, who married Felix Wilson McGlone in 1881 in Linlithgow, West Lothian.
