Sometimes it does. If they both died in Scotland, their death certificates should give you their parents names. You could check to see if they ever made a Poor Law claim in Scotland. (Many did). If they did, then the records normally record the applicants parish of origin in Ireland. Poor Law records for the Glasgow area are in the Mitchell Library, Glasgow. http://www.glasgowlife.org.uk/Pages/search.aspx?s=GLWeb&k=Poor Law applications Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
