Thank you Ella I think that you are correct. On the death certificate, under the column for the informant it has the father (present) with no additional address (residence only required if out of the house in which death occurred). I should have noticed this at first!!! I still haven't found exactly where Dewpark Gardens is (Shettleston or Tollcross on 2 different sources).

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. > Shettleton > seems to be some distance rom Firpark street on the map but the family > moved > around a bit.
