The 1869-70 British Post Office Directory for Glasgow shows these Robert Liddell listings: Liddell,Robert D.,draper and hosier,63B Sauchiehall street;house,15 Hill street,Garnethill. (See Miss Mary Liddell, below, at same address. His daughter?) Liddell,Robert,wood turner,5 Bedford lane;house, 48 Camden street. In the directory, there is a Dr. W.A. Liddell in charge of the Gowan (Parish?) "Poorhouse" as he called it. (I think the guy had a sense of humor about his work and place in life. See my comments below in the analysis I did of the Liddells and related surnames listed in the directory a few months ago. Liddell,W.A.,surgeon,Govan Poorhouse,224 Eglinton street. (In file E's Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons, W.A. is revealed to be William Adam and in file D "poorhouse" is properly named, according to the accountant (McFarlane) working there: Govan Parochial Chambers and appears to be administrative offices. The mysterous William Liddell on Great Hamilton who will, in File B prove to be otherwise untraceable, may be this William. By an elimination process, he is the same since the directory accounts for all names across its sections.) If you want more of this kind of material, I invite you to membership in Team Liddell et al. We have a lot more material like this in our Yahoo Groups sites with combined holdings of some 33 meg and with more on the way. Please write me at [email protected] for details.
