Thanks Maisie for the background information. In 1911 (Census) the family were living at 7 Dewpark Gardens, South Shettleston, Glasgow, which I cannot find on the map of Glasgow. Shettleton seems to be some distance rom Firpark street on the map but the family moved around a bit. They were at 52 Edmund St, Dennistoun, Glasgow, in 1901. The father was a foreman plumber (journeyman) and gas fitter with Glasgow Corporation. I was just curious to see if the young boy had died at home or in a hospital. Probably at home in a tenement in Firpark street. Perhaps they moved there to be nearer to the Royal Infirmary Judy -----Original Message----- From: Maisie Egger Sent: 20 April, 2016 1:15 PM To: Judy Wardlaw ; lanark@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [Lanark] Firpark street Glasgow Judy, No doubt 109 Firpark Street, Dennistoun, was a tenement (not a high rise, that is a more modern nomenclature when the old tenements were demolished to make way for high-rise flats, the highest being the Red Road flats, 34 storeys (sp?) high and at one point the highest in Europe but most of which have recently been demolished.) Firpark Street runs adjacent to the Necropolis Cemetery, and by extension near the Glasgow Cathedral and Royal Infirmary. That whole section of Glasgow has been 'gutted,' shall we say, and many of the tenements are no more, either being replaced by modern flats or 'spare ground.' I was born not too far away from Firpark St., and the whole area has been built over to accommodate the University of Strathclyde or student housing or has been replaced by little pockets of greenery. The whole area is quite unrecognisable now from when I lived in Glasgow. (By the way, Firpark Street is cheek by jowl with Townhead, the oldest part of Glasgow where St. Kentigern (or Mungo) decided to dedicate the spot for his cathedral.)

Hi Judy If the death certificate states Firpark Street it is likely he died at home as I haven't come across a Hospital in that street.Stobhill Hospital usually gives the street whereas the Royal Infirmary states Royal Infirmary. I lived at Comrie Terrace in Old Shettleston Rd Shettleston. I'd look around the Census to find the actual street as it is likely Dewpark gardens was the building. In addition Glasgow University has hospital archives http://www.archives.gla.ac.uk/gghb/aboutus.html Hope this helps Ella Ross Sydney > On 20 Apr 2016, at 16:54, Judy Wardlaw via <lanark@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > Thanks Maisie for the background information. > > In 1911 (Census) the family were living at 7 Dewpark Gardens, South > Shettleston, Glasgow, which I cannot find on the map of Glasgow.

Judy, Could Dewpark Gardens be a difficult to read Deerpark Gardens? Did the 1911 census number begin with 622-2 Enum. Dist 28. If yes to both then I have a little info on the location of Deerpark Gardens.
